So far all of Sam's blood cultures have come back negative. No sign of infection in his blood stream is great news. The site where his central line was is still infected and hopefully antibiotics will help clear this up quickly.
As long as all of the cultures continue to come back negative through Saturday the plan is to have a new central line inserted on Sunday. If tere is any sign of infection in his blood this will have to be put off as any infection that is present would attach itself to his new line.
Sam has finally fallen managed to fall asleep. He is very frustrated with not having the use of either of his arms as he has an IV in one arm and the other is wrapped to prevent him from pulling out the IV. He also does not enjoy hospital gowns and has managed to work his way out of it a few times.
