infection

Since Friday Lukes infection markers went up slowly and on Sunday it was clear he has developed a really bad infection on his chest where he had his sternotomy. The infected area is rougly the size of a beer mat, is very swollen and covers most of his sternum.

Apparently this infection is actually in the bone and typically it is very rare for babies to get infections like this. He is currently being treated with hardcore antibiotics which we hope will clear it up over the next 48hrs. If the infection does not recede then they will propbably have to re-open his chest for a complete washout and remove any absessess/infected tissue.

Still no news from GOS.

On a positive note his bottom teeth came through..
