day 147 October 29 2009

Thursday-we are tired after that late night but we have a pretty good day. The culture from yesterday was negative. Hopefully tomorrow's will be too. The IV that was put in yesterday was not in a good place and caused some pain and swelling and had to be pulled. His veins are so small and are weakened. He had to be poked again and it is so painful. He is a trooper for sure but so hard. We are trying to decide what the plan is. It looks like he will need another temp in so he can get his nutrition while we get him back into eating. I am scared of them because of this infection in his blood but hopefully we can get by without it. We will decide on the plan tomorrow. He did eat an ice cream today but too much and he vomited it. Have to go slow.
