Turns out Zak has a very resistant strain of staph. Even the main antibiotic they use to treat resistant strains of staph will not work in his case. We will see a specialist early Wednesday morning to see what happens next but until then the surgeon has changed Zak's medication. They will be taking out his heparin lock (used for short term I.V. treatment) tomorrow and putting in a picc line (used for long term I.V. treatment) instead. We are told that treatment will take a lot longer than the 10 days we'd anticipated and it is more than likely that Zak will be admitted to the hospital for that treatment.
