They were able to take him off this morning and he hasn't had any
problems. It is good that we were able to get the tube out of his
lungs since that is yet another place that can harbor infection.
We found out that there is a bacteria in his blood along with the
fungus. They are stepping up his antibiotics to take care of that. The
blood cultures they use to test for these take 2 - 3 days for initial
results and than a couple more days to identify the specific organism
that is growing. So, we don't know that he still has an infection just
that he did a few days ago. He hasn't had a high fever since
yesterday, so maybe we are headed in the right direction.
