So Ty had a reaction to something. Probably the platelets, but they don't know. He got a rash all over and his face swelled up and he started coughing and saying he couldn't breathe. His heart rate went up to 174. He is breathing fine now but still has the rash. His temp stays at about 102 now. They stopped the platelets and watched him. Right after that the doc came in and said the lab called and one of his cultures came back positive for yeast which means he has a fungal infection in his blood and needs to be treated for that and will probably need a new central line which means surgery.
