Chest Drain Out, White counts up

The good news is that Jason had his final chest tube removed. The challenging area that we are facing right now is that his white counts have increased over the past few days despite the mega antibiotics he is on. It's a bit of a mystery to the doctors as to where this "infection" may be but they will be doing a CT scan today to see if that will detect anything different.
So we may not be home as scheduled on Monday evening. We will keep everyone posted on how things are going.
Jason can go off the unit for two 30 minute periods daily now so will get him up to the computer once the CT scan is done and he might send a note to everyone.
Thanks for the encouraging words and prayers. We are very fortunate to be blessed with our family and friends.
I just talked to a woman whose husband has been in the Neuro unit for 9 weeks. Major infections in his brain due to poor care by previous doctors. He's 32 with a 5 and 6 year old. Keep him in your prayers. His name is Chris.

It puts it into perspective when we are just waiting a matter of days for release. He will be here more than likely for many months.

Take care
