Oral Meds Given Through Port

[Guest guest]

We're in a crazy situation right now. My son, 19 months, has a port. He went in

for regular IVIG infusion yesterday. My mom took him as she normally does for me

and she was tired and distracted and accidentally put his oral pre-meds

(benadryl and motrin) through his port. (My daughter has a g-tube and also does

IVIG and we always give her meds through her g-tube so that's how my mom got so

confused and messed the meds up).

Needless to say Josh is now in the hospital, spiking fevers and possibly has a

bacterial infection. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this happening

before? If so and you can tell me about it I would be really, really grateful. I

want to know what was done to treat the child and what the outcome was. Josh is

on IV fluids and IV antibiotics right now.

I'd really appreciate any help.
