February 25, 2012

Here's to hoping we dodged a bullet.  Had Clayton's blood cultures continued to grow negative, we may have had to remove his Hickman, do surgery to replace it and then prolonged chemo.  Never a good idea.  Thankfully, his blood cultures from yesterday and today are reported to be negative for the previously recorded infection in his central line.  Woo hoo!  So, provided his cultures continue to be negative, and he doesn't spike a fever, we should still be able to start chemo on Thursday.  Fingers crossed!
