We spoke with the main dr late yesterday and he understood we needed a bit more explanation on what Scott's choices are with a new dialysis site. They want to do dialysis before they try and treat the infection. So I was back to the hospital this morning at 6am to be here for the dr rounds. At 7:15 a tranport person came to pick Scott up, before any of the drs showed up...so a bit a frustration with that. They are putting in a temp dialysis port for his duration here at the hospital. I've also, in piecmealing bits of info, realized (and confirmed with the one dr I've seen today) that Scott will be here forthe duration of the infection treatment...about two weeks. Argh. I fianlly spoke with our transplant coordinator this morning and she was passing on the info to the one Transplant dr that is inhouse today. Scott's transplant surgeon is not here today. Lastly (for now anyway) I've put in a call to Scott's Nephrologists asking that once the results from the blood cultures that were drawn at dialysis last Thursday are sent to them that they need to then fax them over here so that Scott's team here can review. These results will determine what type of infection it is that Scott actually has. Cat nap time for me.
