Ollie has not one, but two bacterial infections. One in his PICC line (apparently very common) and the other systemically in his body. Over the next few days they'll confirm the exact types, but in the meantime they have him on 3 different antibiotics and will make any changes needed when they know.
In the meantime we are told it likely means 10-14 days in hospital. This means no Toronto next week. Ironically I didn't want to go twice in two weeks and tax Ollie that way, but didn't get my way originally. Now it seems I am. We're waiting to hear from Sick Kids Hospital on how or if this changes the rest of the plan. I am hopeful that we'll still go for end of the month and just do scans there before we start days later.
Ollie is pretty tired and the mucusitus was very painful today so he slept a lot. We're all bummed out that this stay will be longer than hoped, but the show must go on.
Not much else to report at the moment. Wishing you all an uneventful and peaceful weekend.
