Brett had surgery today to place a Broviac central venous catheter. All went well with the anesthesia and the procedure. As I am writing this he is sleeping off the anesthesia and we are waiting on a bed to become available. His bronchoscopy cultures from last week only grew staph, so he will soon start the appropriate IV antibiotic. We will start treatment here at the hospital then finish the course at home. After treatment he will return for the Broviac to be removed. This will probably happen after the new year.

Getting his post-placement x-ray. Doesn't he look so small in the bed!
What a brave little thing. He looks so fragile but he's a toughie. How I wish be could be spared all of this but I'm so happy the medical field is so progressive.
