1. Septicemia: Fever down slightly and WBC decreased from 25.4 to 20.2. Continue current IV antibiotics.
2. Anemia/Coagulopathy/Thrombocytopeni a: Clinically consistent with DIC. We will transfuse a unit of platelets and follow labs in 6 hours.
3. Calf swelling: Suspect superficial thromboembolism. We will consult hematology/oncology in regard to their opinion on beginning anticoagulant medicine.
