Scotty's off the vancomycin







So, Saturday Scotty still wasn't feeling well & had started to get red man syndrome. His lymph nodes were so swollen that nuero ordered a CT scan. They found that his lymph nodes were looking abscessed. The new plan is to stop the vancomycin & treat him with 2 other antibiotics that will help with viral as well. I can't recall the name of them right now but, they are suppose to be just as good. My mom spent the night with Scotty Saturday night to relieve Scott and I. When we arrived on Sunday you could tell the difference. He wasn't having fevers, pain, & no redness. He says he feels much better & the swelling seems to be going down. We are hoping when Nuero comes in tomorrow morning that the swelling has gone down even more & they will give us date for surgery. We are still staying hopeful that will be out of here by Thanksgiving. I will update you as soon as we here something. Here are some photos to share with you so you can see what he looked like with the swelling and red man syndrome.
