Infection in the Blood - but the fever broke

Kirstenmumof3 wrote: One of the doctors from Infectious Deases came to see us today. Spencer has an infection in his blood and if it they can't get it under control they would need to remove his central line. They say that the infection starts in the gut and since he has sores in his stomach this is probably where it has started. They have increased the level of his morphine drip, but he is still quite miserable.

kayla's mama replied: Poor guy....Hopes he gets feeling better.

Edward's Mommy replied: OMG!!! Is he going to be okay? Can they make it better? I'm so so sorry for you and for Spencer!!! My heart is breaking for you and I am still praying for you and him and the rest of your family. If they cut off his central line, what will happen after that?

CosmetologyMommy replied: to u and ur family. I hope ur son can a least sleep.

CAMSMOM1 replied: I'm so sorry Kirstin. What does it mean when they need to remove his central line? What can they do for him to help him with this?

Keep the faith sweetie & don't lose heart. Know that your heavenly Father is with you and Spencer. He will never leave you nor forsake you. I will continue to hold you both up in my prayers.

MamaJAM replied: Poor kiddo. I hope they can clear it up without having to remove the central line. Continued prayers for his speedy healing.

jcc64 replied: I'm so sorry Kirstin. I think with these sorts of invasive procedures, it's not uncommon for 1 step forward, then 2 steps back. It sounds like he's receiving very good care, and for now, you just need to look at these complications as small steps on his way to getting well. I hope they are making him comfortable. Be strong- you can do this.

amymom replied: Prayers being said. Take care.

My3LilMonkeys replied: I hope that this minor setback can be cleared up soon!

Kirstenmumof3 replied:
They have him on IV antibiotics and if they pull the line at some point another one would need to be inserted. Every hour things change. It's just so scary sometimes you never know what will happen next!

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: I vividly remember that hour by hour feeling. Not quite to this extent, but to some. Anyhow, if they have to remove his central line he'll probably have an IV or 2 (possibly more) put in his arms or hands. They try to avoid taking a central line, they are so much more convenient and easier than sticking little people over and over. I hope the antibiotics clear this bug up soon. If you can, could you PM me with the name of the bacteria they grew out of his blood. Just lab curiosity. If you are busy and I know you are, don't worry about it.

mummy2girls replied: I am so sorry hun((((HUGS))) I am still praying liek crazy!

Jeanne is right.. 1 step forward, 2 steps back... the hospital you are in is the best in canada for Children...

coasterqueen replied: I agree with Jeanne. I think many times it's 1 step forward and several back. Hang in there. I know it has to be so difficult for all of you. P&pt's going to you all 24/7.
