Watching for New Infections

So all the doctors (three of them) have been by to see Matt.  Now there is thinking that the pic lines have a bacteria in the tubing.  I guess what I heard is because the various things they are counting a fluctuating too much from day to day.  In addition the fevers he keeps getting aren't explained by any obvious bacterias they have been testing for.  This means that if the new blood test from his other arm show any signs of a particular infection they will pull the pic lines and redo the lines.  I don't know if I'm praying for this to happen or not to happen.  It take about an hour to put the line in and it is painful.

So please continue to pray that they will find the cause of these fevers and it will be something that can easily be fixed.  Pray that Matt can get a break in the lousy cards he is being dealt.

The good is Matt is they also want Matt to try and begin to eat something.  We need to start slowly, but maybe just chicken broth  today, even a teaspoon full at a time.  We want to work up to him being able to eat solids next week.
