Hi Cathy,

I just wanted to update you on Kyle.

On Monday the 23rd, I opted to place an 8 French  green argyle tube in the neo Malone to address the continued structure. By Wednesday it was significantly swollen, inflamed and painful with increasing redness. A five day course of po Cipro was started. Symptoms increased and Thursday I removed the green argyle tube. Friday morning I placed an 8 French straight, blue tipped urinary cathedar.  Saturday we will see the pediatrician in clinic with the goal being to maintain access until the redo on May 8th and clear symptoms of infection so the surgery can happen.

I don't know if this is significant, but this morning while I was using a hot pack on the site, there was gas passing out his belly button and flecks of stool.

Thanks again for your help!  

Spring
