Follow up

I just wanted to do a follow up from earlier. Well his blood culture came back positive for a grand rod infection. So they are treating Alex with an antibiotic. They also removed his pic-line to make sure that wasn't the sight of the infection. They also put in a new I.V. in his head because nothing else was working. They put his art-line back in as well. He WAS actually fighting withdrawal which is why he had the shakes and purple toes and why his sats weren't raising. They just upped his dose and will take him off those drugs a little slower. K- We will know more tomorrow

It sounds like little Alex went through quite a bit today. I'm hoping and praying that these changes will help him on his road to recovery! If you can't tell, I too have become an addict to your blog. I look forward to each and every entry! I read a quote today on Andrew's blog and think it applies here...I hope they don't mind that I share it. ;)
