So close, Alec had a positive culture come back on his broviack. He is now back on vancomyicin. Another culture was done on his port, we have to wait 48 hrs to see if it grows anything. We were just about set to come home. His ANC has been holding steady and he is taking all his meds by mouth, still vomiting on occasion, but that is to be expected. He has been off of his IV nutrition and his weight is holding steady. He continues to just drink the shake from nutrition which the Dr.'s are satisfied with.
I met with nutrition today and they talked to me about the diet Alec needs to be on once released from the hospital, all of which I knew, no fresh fruits and veggies, no fast food, not even pizza. Everything has to be cooked at home and washed thoroughly. Alec has to have his own condiments in small portions.
Alec was looking forward to going home shortly, so I had to break the news to him that it looks like we might have to stay longer because one of his test from his tubies came back that there was a buggie in it. He was a little upset, but drawing pictures of lions on the window cheered him up a bit. (picture will be uploaded tomorrow)
