Line Infection

We found out that Jordan has a line infection and they are treating it with two anti-biotic, one is Gentamicine which he gets every 12 hrs and Amphysiline. This is his first infection since he got his line 6 months ago. I am a little nervous because if the bacteria continue to grow, doctor might have to replace it so I am praying that the two antibiotic will work.
On a bright side, Jordan is doing extremely well. Grandpa and Grandma were impressed with his new stunts like rolling from tummy, holding his bottle and get giggle, seating down and he is talking so much! In short he doesn't look like he is sick or there's something wrong inside of his body. He is so active.
We are hoping tomorrow the blood culture they drew last Saturday will be negative. If its negative then we can go home this week but he will still continue to get antibiotics at home to clear well out the bacteria.
Anyway, we talked to our GI Dr. and we decided to go to UCLA for evaluation. We thought since its closer here in San Diego and we know that they have the best doctors and facility.
