The second culture taken from his port has started to grow the same bacteria as the first, so Cason will likely have it removed (hopefully tomorrow, but we're not sure yet). The doctor originally wanted him to finish his antibiotic over the next couple of days, go home, then return next week to remove the port and put in a new one. After some discussion we decided that it is worth a try to remove the port and leave it out. At this point he is only having blood taken once a week, so hopefully we can get rid of the port for good!
Also, Cason has finally been cleared to leave his room! B.G. and Jackson came up this morning and we spent some time in a play group and then outside with some new friends. It has been a long couple of days confined to the room, so we are excited to finally be able to move around a little.
We have to do a 24 hour urine test, an ultrasound and the Port removal procedure before we go home, so we're not really sure when that will happen. Hopefully soon...

So happy to see my brother.
Having fun at Music class.
It was "baby massage" time. Jackson did my feet. It was great!
