I figured I'd post early since there's not too much going on. I noticed Jaime's incision site looked red and more swollen this morning. The NP's came to look at it and agreed. By the time the surgeon came it was basically back to "normal." Who knows what that was all about. Now we're just waiting to see if anything "grows" in his cultures. If something does, then they will put a picc line back in, start his Factor VIII back up and give him appropriate antibiotics for the infection.
The only thing the drs. decided in rounds was to get a urine for sodium, as his sodium is low again and put him on Vancomycin (different antibiotic). He was up for a good part of the morning and early afternoon. I gave him his 1:00 P.M. bottle and put him down for a nap, he's still sleeping. His next bottle is due at 4:00 P.M., I imagine he'll be up for that. He's really good about waking up for his bottles, he definitely knows when he's hungry these days. That's all on Jaime.
As for Jared, he was so disappointed yesterday, so, Tom decided to take him to the U.S. Air Force Museum. It's about an hour away. The boys are really enjoying themselves. I keep getting text messages and photos from them on my phone. Here are a few of them. Enjoy!!!
I'm going to go...I want to get some homework done before Jaime's next feeding.

I haven't checked in on you all in awhile. Look at all his hair! It sounds as though you are all close to the "H" word. Prayers that Jaime overcomes this current obstacle quickly. All on Jaime time...
ReplyDeleteHugs and Prayers your way!
