Yesterday Raul had a repeat MRI of his legs done in the morning. They
wanted to make sure there was not an active infection that could
delay his transplant, and thankfully they came back late in the day to
say the MRI showed no sign of oseomyelitis! However, he will be staying
on the antibiotics through his transplant. Today they were able to
change one of the antibiotics to something less potent, as his cultures
came back as being sensitive to this more gentle antibiotic (and oddly, one was resistant to the powerful antibiotic!).
We also saw the pain team, and are continuing to work on a good plan
for Raul. Yesterday we changed Raul's bandages after his MRI while he
was in the PACU and it was better than Tuesday, but he was still pretty
awake and unhappy.
Today we also got to get a pass to go back to
the RMH for dinner and some time to play there. We had fun getting out
for a break from the hospital! Raul has been getting used to the
hospital, and is warming up the doctors and nurses. Tonight when we got
back I was telling the nurse about how Raul had told the doctors they
could work as a team to find him a toy, and she found him this super
cool fire truck pillow! He was very excited!
What an awesome pillow Raul! Hugs to you and Caroline, and many prayers!
