Evan is an amazing little man. He has been hospitalized since Monday with an infection in the port used to draw blood and introduce Chemo drugs. His spirits are high and he is feeling well. His temp is normal and he is receiving the two different antibiotics to attempt to clean out the port. If the port cannot be cleaned, then they will have to go back in and remove the port and place another one in. The bacterial invaders are gram positive and If I can remember my biology days, that means that antibiotics are more able to penetrate the cells and kill off the bacteria better than gram negative ones.
He will be in hospital until at least 2/23 as his next round of Chemo is scheduled to commence on Thursday, one week from today. I want to thank everyone who has been assisting the family during this long incarceration. Everyone is pitching in and making sure other family members are in school and in safe places. Without this assistance we would be way behind the eight ball.
