Well Jackson's line grew bacteria in both lumens of his central line.  Apparently this is something that is fairly common with central lines.  Unfortunately it means that it will need to be replaced right away.  They are talking about replacing it tomorrow morning, which means another surgery and central line.    Our prayer is that after it is replaced that there will be no more bacteria, and also that they caught it in time for it to not have spread to other parts of his body.  On the positive note his echo did not show any bacteria and he finished receiving his chemo today.  Please pray!
