Look Mom, no tubes!

Last Tuesday, Elliot went in and got his PICC line removed which was fabulous for a couple of reasons. First, it looks like we might have kicked this E Coli bug for good, and second, we no longer have to live our lives around the visits of the home health nurses. Yippee!!!

Now the little guy is just on some low dose oral antibiotics which Paul and I can give to him. This Tuesday we go in to have Elliot's urinary tract tested to see how much, if any, reflux is going on from his bladder to his kidneys in order to determine how long we will have to continue giving the antibiotics and if he will need to have a surgery to correct any problems. Hopefully he'll pass this test, like so many others he has been put through, with flying colors.

 

But enough of this medical crap. I thought it would be nice to post some photos and stories that have nothing to do with doctors or creepy bacterias.
