We found out this afternoon that the blood cultures collected from Weston's broviac grew some bugs.
Bummer. But, it was just a matter of time before this happened.
He is being treated with two different antibiotics, Zosyn and Vancomycin.
The hope is that the infection is just in line, and not systemic.
They had to draw some blood from his arm today to determine this. First time he was stuck in over a month.
The hope is that the antibiotics will clear the infection up, and that they will not need to remove his line.
This also means that we may be here for a bit longer than expected...for sure through the weekend.
BUT, on the bright side, Wes is happy and his direct bili was 2.2 today...the lowest it has ever been!
He was approved by insurance for transplant evaluation and we are continuing with that. He had an EKG and a chest XR today, and of course more blood work.
We had a slew of stupendous visitors today: Auntie M, Uncle Johnny and Phillip. :-) We were so happy to see everyone! And to have the company. These days get really long when you are held captive.
Last but not least; check this out...
Ugh! Miss that silly baby girl! <3
