A lot has happened. 12 days ago he was positive for a staph infection in his central line. They gave him antibiotics and it was gone 3 days later. They went ahead and did his surgery. That went well. He is a proud owner of a g tube and an ileostomy (again). He started running a temp shortly after and his recovery has been shaky. They thought it was post op yuck so they gave him some tylonal but ran some blood cultures (the normal 2) and waited it out. One came back negative and the second came back positive.....maybe. The neonatologist told me last night that it wasn't a positive positive, but more of a suspicious positive. So he did some other test and it came back negative. SO I thought he got a false positive. This morning the surgical nurse practitioner calls me and says that he most definitely has staph and they are going to pull his broviac central line and put a new one in at another location at 7:00am Wednesday (tomorrow). I'm like WTF?!?
Clearly communication in the NICU needs some improvement.
So I'm confused, she's confused, Logan is sick, and no one knows what to do about it.
Amber, Zachary, and Logan. Hang in there, fight, and get better!
