Today...

Today Fletcher started day one of a three day infusion therapy of Pamidronate. They had to start a peripheral line on him this time because his port is a mess right now! The skin around his port is colonized with MRSA so it's not safe to use the port because we don't want the port infected with the MRSA. The port had been oozing pus so they've been culturing it every week to see if it is growing anything so far so good, but the skin that covers the port is non existent and the actual port is visible! It is quite a sight to see. They are keeping it covered and working on different options to make sure we can keep it.

Today Fletcher's dermatologist, Dr. Adelson came to check on him. Fletcher has several warty moles on his head and Dr. Adelson is trying to find the best and safest way to remove them. So that's been tabled for a bit. He also suggested that we start a relationship with a pediatric plastic surgeon. Fletcher is doing so well that we think it's a great idea as well. So I'll keep you posted on all that.
