Kurt saw the doctor of infectious diseases this afternoon. They're waiting on the culture to come back to determine what type of staph infection it is. He's currently on vancomycin, but is struggling with fever and nausea. Once the culture comes back they may change the antibiotic. The doctor also told him if his fever spikes as high as it has over the past 2 days (around 104) they'll have to open him up. He's hoping to leave Friday, but unless something changes very soon, that may be optimistic. He'll go home with a picc line for IV antibiotics, and will have a portable vacuum for the drainage. Please keep praying!!!
Love,
Heather
