An ultrasound, today, revealed that the blood clot around the tube in Landon's thigh has dissolved. That's very good news. There is still a problem with a rash under the dressing on his thigh. They haven't been able to get rid of the rash and are becoming more concerned about it. If it becomes infected they will have to remove the tube and Landon will have lost one of the few sites available for his IV feeding catheter.
Jeremiah and Shelly met with the doctors and nurses today. The doctors and nurses feel that the treatments have gone very well and that if they can resolve the problem with the rash, and there are no other complications, Landon could be released from the hospital late next week. He could possibly come home at that time. He will need to return to Boston once a month or every other month for check ups.
Jeremiah and Shelly were able to get a couple ladies that volunteer at the hospital to sit with Landon while they got away for a couple hours today. They needed a break.
