As we are starting to learn we do not seem to get much good news. Today some of Ryan's blood tests came back showing that he has an infection in his blood. They are not sure what it is from but it may be from the PIC line in his arm (this line gives him the fluids he needs).
They are taking the pic line out and are trying to decide how he will get the nutrition he needs. he has already had a pic line in his chest, then was moved to his left arm, then to his right arm. They may try to put one his the veins in his wrist but we are not sure if this will hold up.
Also, they are not sure if the fluid in his lungs is infected. Tomorrow they will have to test the fluid they remove during the procedure in the ct scan that is done with a long needle.
Ryan is very pale today and he appears to have very little energy. He is sweating and has been having a fever. More waiting...
