So we re-tested C-Diff on Tuesday and it was negative.Poor Buddy is still having lots of tummy issues.Everytime he eats he gets lots of tummy pain.He was still running a fever so Friday we tested for strep and he was positive on 2 tests.
A culture has been sent to the lab as well as another test for C-Diff.In the meantime I.D. Dr has started him on Vanco and Augmentin.They also did an anti-body test for strep.On Monday we are hoping to get all these results back.If they all come back neg then we know that Broc is colonising the strep bacteria.
The first cure for that is to take out his tonsils which we have already done.The second is then to take a very long course of Clindamycin which Broc cannot take as it put him in the hospital with a very bad case of C-Diff.So once again the drs are at a loss.They are all waiting for Dr Nelson to see Broc and give us a dx so we can start treatment.They think that once he begins treatment to rebuild his immune system then everything will go away.Well that is what they hope will happen.
I will update again on Monday when we hopefully have some results.
