PRAISE!!!!

We want to thank everyone for praying for our family, especially little Brian Robert.

We got a call today that the sensitivities came back and Brian's drugs are being changed. He will no longer have an infusion of Vancomycin every eight hours but will have Rocephin every 12 hours. He will be finished on Sunday and we were told that he is able to leave for his Make a Wish trip on Monday. WE ARE THRILLED.

Thank you for your continued prayers. Please pray that the infection  is completely gone from the port and that Brian will not have to have it removed. We will probably know the answer to this in a few weeks when he goes back in for his next chemo week. Or if he gets a fever between now and then.

We are assuming this is a different bacteria b/c the infection we were dealing with four weeks ago was resistant to Rocephin. This bacteria requires Rocephin. This makes us hesitant to leave Brian accessed for the entire week of chemo. Brian had been on treatment for two and a half years and has never had an infection in his port. The two weeks that we have left  him accessed for the entire week, he has gotten infections in his port. We are a bit concerned.
