DAY 62

After a few days away and some help from some good friends, I am feeling a lot better.

After being away for a few days my hope was that Brendan would be feeling better. A lot of the side effects from a drug he was taking have improved but the fevers have remained. We have watched Brendan slowly become more unwell over the last two days. Fortunately, a blood culture returned as staph positive (he should be feeling lousy and have a fever). Brendan has a infection in one of his lines. He has been started on a course of IV antibiotics and should be feeling better in a few days. Staph infections really knock kids with a compromised system around. If the infection cannot be brought under control through the use of antibiotics, then his line will be removed again so that the source of infection is removed.

We hope to see a little more of the Brendan we know and love in the next few days.

Love Anna
