Tonya Update

Hi Everyone,
I sure will be glad when I don't have to do this anymore, won't you?
The infection control doc came in this morning. He was somewhat surprised to see that Tonya still had what he called a low grade fever of 102 during the night. He checked Tonya's IV site and saw that it too was infected. He pulled it out and the surgeon came in about 4 and started a central line. The doc also added another antibiotic in conjunction with the one already on board. The additional one comes 4 times day, however, since it was so late this evening before she got the line replaced she won't actually get 4 doses today. We are guaranteed another 48 hours minimum stay at the hospital. It doesn't look like she will get to come home until at least Friday or Saturday if then.
Tonya's primary care doc was back today. He asked me if I talked to the infection control doc and I said yes. He said since Tonya has such a bad infection he has turned over the managment of the infection to the infection control doc. They both will be stopping by, but I guess the infection control doc is the one in charge right now. That's about it for now. I'll let you know of any changes tomorrow, if there are any. If you don't hear from me tomorrow, you'll know nothing changed. Hopefully, by Wed., we will see some improvement and I will have some good news for a change.
Brian
