MORE INFECTION

Max's ECHO on his heart yesterday detected a hint of an infection within in his heart...actually near his VSD which is the most dangerous place, according to his doctors. HOWEVER, they are repeating another ECHO today to confirm that is indeed an infection and not tissue.

Additionally, the culture they drew from his lungs also is growing out an infection.

Today will be a very important day as we learn more. "Clinically" (O2, heart rate, respiratory rate) he is fairly stable, which is encouraging. However, the infections are certainly not good.
