When Jon and I saw Dr. Lin yesterday the lab was short staffed and there was a delay sending all of Jon's results to Dr. Lin. He told us he would call if anything abnormal turned up. Jon woke up early today and we loaded his tires into his truck so he could have his studded snow tires removed. While having breakfast with his friend, Eric, Dr. Linn called and instructed him to admit himself back into UWMC immediately. They had detected and infection in his port which required immediate IV antibiotics. Eric had him there within the hour and he has already received his first dose.
I just finished work and am on my way up to see him. His only request was grape juice as he has become addicted to Purple Cows (grape juice and vanilla ice cream). He sounds good but he told me tonight that Dr. Lin had advised him that this particular infection can be fatal in 35% of the cases. Thankfully, Dr. Lin was on top of the situation and Jon is receiving the treatment he needs. He should be in the hospital for the next 3 days.
