Nearly escaped from hospital

A paediatrician came around in the morning and was satisfied to send us home in the afternoon after another dose of IV antibiotics. But before midday one of our paediatric intensivists came to see us and said that she was not happy about Raphael going home today and that she wanted him to have close observation tonight. She wanted him to have a night in hospital without any oxygen before sending him home.

Because he has had a spiking temperature over the past few weeks, she is concerned that he will be back again in another couple of days unless they do everything that can be done in the hospital. So he is stuck in the hospital again at least for tonight.
