We were discharged from EMMC today at noon. Andy then took him to Dr Ross' office for his Synergist vaccine. He is home now and sleeping in his car seat. Thanks to Mimi for helping us unpack and settle back home. His weight today was 6.355 kg, just before discharge. He will be on 7 more days of IV antibiotics and then we will redraw a blood culture from his central line. The results will determine if we need a new line, which will need to be done in Boston.
While we were in Boston last week for clinic, we changed out his G/J tube, for a new G/J Mic-Key button. It took some time to heal again, but is working well now. It was red and draining but we have been using soaks, and dressings with some silver nitrate.
Let's hope this is his only central line infection, and we can keep healthy until we can discontinue the PN and central line in a few months as planned.
