Braxton had his lumbar puncture today and everything went well. They were even able to get the bandages off of his arm where he had the biopsy last Thursday. The anesthesiologist was very helpful, tender and patient while helping the nurse remove the bandages. Braxton woke up briefly right before the lumbar puncture had finished. Then he woke up again when they were still removing his bandages and started asking questions about the bandages in that sort of groggy, dreamy state. It turned out that the surgeon had left two long sutures(?) in and had taped these down with a sterri strip. This is the main cause for the bandages coming off so difficultly, along with the dried blood.
Enough about that. Braxton got back to his room at about 2pm and has been vomiting ever since. He had some fluconasol at first, then at about 4pm they gave him something else to try to settle down his tummy. More vomiting at 4:20pm. If it continues, they are going to give Brax some Benadryl. He is now tired and trying to rest. More info to follow.
