Rory has been feeling pretty crappy since he got out of the hospital on the 5th. He has not been able to keep a lot down. He started having a discharge from his catheter exit site last week, which they cultured. Nothing major popped up. Tuesday, the reason why he was feeling lousy became abundantly clear. He came down with a raging infection, running a temp at dialysis of 102.9 F. Even with Tylenol, it went up to over 104 that evening. They took blood cultures, then ran in some heavy duty I.V. antibiotics. He is starting to feel better now, but is still really weak, and I think, very protein deficient. So, I am "buffing" him up with eggs, meats, lots of higher protein items. Oh yeah... his catheter keeps clotting off, so they keep TPA'ing it. And he is oozing a bit of blood from his exit site when he is dialyzed. And life goes marching on... and we pack up our stuff...
