Day 16

As my mother mentioned earlier, William's catheter has been getting clogged with sediment and blood clots. Last night the nurse had to flush his lines each time (every 30 minutes) he needed to pee. So tonight, Just as we started settling in for what I hoped would be peaceful and boring night, he got blocked again. The nurses have tried several techniques to flush and "vacuum" out his lines but, nothings seems to work. So, long story short William's entire catheter needs to be replaced. The concerns with this are: 1)Infection 2)His penis/bladder being too swollen to get a new catheter in They are going to try to insert a larger diameter of line this time as to prevent any more blockage.... Good grief! They will be giving William the "Michael Jackson Drug" Propofol and some numbing cream on his penis so hopefully this entire experience will be a little less excruciating. Keep on Keeping on... All I can do is pray and hold on to my strong believe that William will be okay. (I just hope they don't break my son penis in the process)
