We are still down at the hospital with Brandon meeting with follow-up Dr.’s. We are in between apt.’s so I popped down to the library to post this update. It’s been a long day and it’s still not over!! Going on 8 hours here so far! On the bright side Brandon is feeling better each day. Still not back up to 100% but getting better. Today we’re trying to decide what the next step will be. His lab’s this morning showed that he is VERY anemic and that this infection (like the last) has also attacked his bone marrow. We are going to double an iron supplement for a few days in the hopes of avoiding another blood transfusion. As far as the VCUG test goes, still very likely but they want to wait untill the infection is gone and he finishes all the antibiotics. They believe by placing a catheter now his chances of infection will double. Still have several Dr.’s to see today but it beats having to sleep one more night in a hospital chair!!!! Julie
