And The Scans Are In!!

So we FINALLY got Ben's bone scan toady. The series of scans took a large portion of the day. 

Ben had to be sedated and ended up needing some oxygen while sedated. The day was long but at least we had our test.

Not long ago I was told the scans are in. The scans were very good quality and showed a definite change on Ben's left side. The ENT crew, plastics and ID/Immunology are diagnosing this as a low grade bone infection and devising a course of treatment accordingly. 

Ben will need long term IV antibiotics (6-8 weeks worth). This means the poor little guy will need to be sedated (again) taken downstairs and have a PICC line placed. He will spend some time in the PICU for monitoring then be sent back up here.

Once the PICC line is in place and I am taught how to care for it and issue the medications we can HOPEFULLY go home! 

I will post more once they doctors have given me more information....**Sigh**

Doesn't look like we will make it home for Mother's Day :(
