Ok so they did the procedure and got the port working agian! YEAH! I felt better about them doing it once they explained that it wasn't going into an artery it was going into a vein, a big vein but that is still better than an artery because they gush, veins don't. While he was down there, when they finished that dermatology came in and punch biopsied, and cultured the wound on his bottom. The good thing was that with the punch biopsy, it took the entire sore and then they stitched it up. So hopefully that will help it heal faster. We have to be very diligent in cleaning and keeping the antibiotic ointment on them to prevent that area from getting infected. He did great throughout the whole thing, thankfully, I was freaking out a bit. And the cool thing was that the sedation made him loopy, so he is TALKING to us again! He said, slurring his speech like he was drunk "And I love you too, and I have a bandaid, daddy where did you get that sticker, mommy, where is your sticker?" lol Just like that, one after another! I was crying tears of joy to hear his voice, and hear him saying things that didn't involve the words "Ow" or "tired" or any of the other one word answers we were getting if we were lucky enough to get an answer at all. And for the moment he is still talking so, my guess is that the sedation hasn't worn off yet. We will hopefully have some answers tomorrow, but who knows because it is a Saturday.

We did get the C-diff test back, negative! They will probably have to do two more just to be certain but at least the first one was negative. He is still oozing stool though, so hopefully that will clear up soon, that will surely help his bottom heal.

Also the infectious disease doctors were in, and they as well as dermatology feel that it is more likely that this is pseudomonis, instead of aspergillus, but either is possible, or it could be something else entirely. Hopefully we'll know soon. Either way he is on meds that will cover him all the way around, antibiotics, and an antifungal. Ok I think that is everything. I'm going to go now and enjoy my boy while he is chatty. Please keep praying, with the way the day has turned around, my guess is heaven's doors were stormed with prayers this afternoon, thank you! Please keep sending them up! We aren't out of the woods yet.
