Did I say it was getting easier?? oops

Still in the hospital. There are a few reasons but Scott feels fine. The antibiotics have been working and he has no symptoms of an infection now. It was confirmed that he had a staph infection on his dialysis line and it progressed to a full-blown blood infection, or sepsis. His cardiologist told him(when he was past the worst) that it was the kind of infection that “could do a person in”. So we’re lucky and grateful we caught it in time. Scott was close to being admitted to the ICU – not the CICU – worse. Thankfully it didn’t get quite that bad.
Scott has been receiving IV antibiotics and will be for the next 3 weeks. He only stayed in the CICU for one day then he was moved to unit 81 – the same room as before. They plan on putting a picc line in his arm again so he can go home on the meds. BUT the big issue is dialysis. Now he can’t have hemodialysis because they took out the catheter for access. Because he already has a PD catheter line that was put in surgically over a month ago they were just going to start PD dialysis Tuesday night. When they tried to use the PD line it didn’t work properly. They took an xray and it isn’t in the right spot. Now surgery gets involved again to make it work. But that means wait and wait and wait. So Scott feels fine and wants to come home but instead he sits in a dreary hospital room on a beautiful, sunny day waiting for a surgery that could take days to happen again. This really stinks! I try to tell myself to be grateful because it could be so much worse but it still isn’t easy.
