Update on Brent

Brent has been out of the hospital for a while. The Doctors decided to do an extended course of antibiotics. The surgical Doctor believes it is a deep seeded infection that never totally gets cleared up. As of now they have decided on 8 weeks of home iv antibiotics. So you got it Dad and Mom have become the administrators of this with Brent's help. Home Care comes in once a week and makes sure everything is going well and to do a dressing change on Brent's pic line.
He is on two different antibiotics - Vancomycin and Ertapenem. He receives them every 12 hours and they run over an hour and a half. Brent will go for a CT scan on March 28th. This will hopefully show if the antibiotics are working or if there is a leak that they may be missing. Their goal is to fix or find out why the infections keep reoccuring.
Brent has had a cold that seems to be lingering and a stretched groin muscle.
He has been able to keep up in school pretty well but physio has suffered because of him not feeling great.
We covet and appreciate your continued prayers.


Keep hoping. Keep loving. Keep praying.
