Broc very kindly shared the stomach flu with Little Mark and I. So far daddy has escaped it. We got more bad news in that Broc does indeed have c diff. So we have stopped his ABX and are starting him on vancomycin.
We are now faced with the dilemma when Broc gets another bacterial infection we have to treat him with ABX but then take the risk of him getting c diff. I hate this cycle we are in.
This is something we need to discuss with his immuno dr when he gets back from vacation.
Broc was born with a broken heart.He is a strong little guy and has overcome many obstacles.He will still have to deal with heart surgeries and procedures in the future.Through all of this he is a great little buddy and loves his older brother Mark.Dealing with Broc's health issues has made us a very strong family.

We are finally home !!
So after a loooong day we are home. His dx was gastro with possible c diff and a UTI. They discharged him with a fever and said give Motrin every 4 hours.Cause his immune system has taken a left shift( his WBC and neutrophils are really high and his lymphocytes really low) once again, they gave him IV antibiotics. They are not sure how he got another bacterial infection on top of the one he already has while being on antibiotics. All they can think is that one was resistant to the antibiotic. We still have to test for c diff.
We will be seeing his ped again tom to follow up. We also need to speak with his I.D. Dr to see if we are missing something. This is one tired moma.
Thanks for all the prayers everyone.
