Thursday -- 5:30 am

Samuel was moved to the Observation Care Unit during the night.   He is in isolation because he has an antibiotic resistant bacteria. It is resistant to Vancomycin, which is the drug that kills staph.  Everyone entering his room must wear the blue gloves and gowns like when he was in STICU.  We are getting some answers,  but they aren't good.  The latest tests indicate that the JP drain may have rubbed a new fistula in his small intestines.   They aren't sure why this was not picked up on the CT scan.   They did blood work and cultures all through the night.   We are both exhausted. We don't know what the plan is from here.  I'm sure Dr. Kozar will be by soon.  I have to drive back to Brenham today for a closing on a property we sold.  I really hope we have some answers by then.
