Andrew's echo came back clean on Monday, which means he's on the shortest course of antibiotics. The plan is to administer one medicine per day via IV for up to four weeks. Around the two-week mark, Andrew will get a CT and if the abscess looks like it's healing, then he may be able to stop antibiotics sooner. The doctors also agreed to let him use his mediport for antibiotics, so he didn't need to get a new PICC line or midline.

Andrew is also going home with a C tube gallbladder drain, which he will likely have for 4-6 weeks. The goal between now and then is to never let Wesley know that there's a tube he could pull on connected to Andrew's insides.

The oncologist expects that we can return to chemo either late next week or the following week. An MRI earlier this week showed that there was some cancer present in places we didn't know about, like his bones and muscles. These things have not been picked up on previous CTs. Because the main lesions we've been watching have decreased in size in April, the doctor thinks it's possible the other tumors are not new and also improving with recent chemo infusions. That doesn't feel good to know that cancer is wider spread than we thought, but it is not changing our plans for now.

Discharge is scheduled for today, as soon as the pharmacy delivers some medication to Andrew's room. We are very excited to go home after a long week.
