Thursday, 10 September 2009 - Day +31

Drew had a CT scan on his chest today, which was clear. No NPA's today and Drew's rash is losing its brightness, most of the time. The Drs suspect that Drew has an infection in his central line, so he is having alcohol put into his lines for 4 hours a day, 'his own little party' for 5 days, this will hopefully kill any germs in them. Tomorrow he will have a bronchoscopy under general anaesthetic - this will get a sample of phlegm from the bottom of his lungs, which they will test for viruses, bacteria, fungi and TB (which is routine they don't think he has it). Drew was very bright and cheery today - I knew he was getting back to his normal self when one of the Respiratory Drs, who is Scottish, walked in, and without even saying good morning Drew told him Scotland had lost 1-0 in the World Cup qualifiers.
