Just to clarify, Ed's port was infected. It had to be removed today. He will try to heal with an open wound over the next days in the hospital.
This is a rare occurrence.
Having chemotherapy through IV is hardly ever done. Ed had that his first week of having leukemia.
The catheter line they put in during today's surgery will help to treat the leukemia while the wounds in his body heal.
At some future date they will put another port in, on the other side of his neck. We hope in about a month.
Sadly, he has barely any white blood cells to accomplish the task of healing.
Ed is very sick.
His spirits amaze the hospital staff. He has chosen to be positive.
I have a headache tonight. I choose to go and rest.
A long stay in the hospital stretches out before us.
Patience. Peace. Hope.
