Arghhhh
Bobby has been fine since the drama of yesterday morning. We've had no more desats and, overall, had a pleasant day. But, we found out last night that he has an infection from his central line (which is used to draw blood/give IV medication). That means we're in the hospital for more time as they give him IV antibiotics. It will be a couple of days before they can specify how much time - we may go home on oral antibiotics or even with an IV. Shoot. Darn. and Heck.

Your tale has more twists than Porky Pig's!
ReplyDeleteI know it's frustrating. But boy am I glad this happened while he was still in the hospital and they could diagnose and treat that much faster.
Do you think maybe the doctors and nurses have just fallen so much in love with Bobby that they're making things up just as an excuse to keep him around longer?? (He's pretty adorable, after all!)
Hi Val - this is the first chance I've had to check out your blog, and I'm now a follower. What hospital is Bobby at?

ReplyDeleteBoooo to the infection! The hospital is the handiest place to catch one, so I hope he's out of there fast. I'm so glad he's keeping his oxygen up. There's no telling what he'll be capable of now!!
