New antibiotic

Posted by Becky

The doctors have switched out the Zosyn Leif has been getting for a new antibiotic, doripenem.

Some of the interns also came by to discuss Leif's shoulder blade pain. He has a very sore spot that we've been thinking is a pulled muscle or other knot-type pain source near his right shoulder blade. It's been really bothering him, and that combined with his sore butt makes it hard for him to get up out of bed and move around much, since he can't compensate for soreness in the one area by leaning on the other area. And of course, staying as active as possible is important. It sounds like they are going to do an ultrasound tomorrow, to see if the knot is possibly fluid buildup.
