Adriana has come down with a line infection again.This really sucks she just got over a infection and had her line removed and a new on placed. Well last night when I went to visit Adriana she was acting herself but the nurse told me she had spiked a fever, they gave her ibuprofen orally and her temp came down. Her Dad and I gave her a bath and she loved the water but as soon as I took her out of the water she started to fuss. I knew she was cold and tired. I dressed her up and as soon as she was all dressed I picked her up and she fell asleep in my arms. She did feel a little warm, but her feet were cold. So they took some blood cultures from her yesterday and they also took some urine to check. Well I was told today that bacteria did grow on the blood cultures. I am not sure how many but they kinda gave me a list, I think it was like 3. I am not understanding why all the sudden she is getting these line infections. This is the 2ND time and she had never had any before, but I did realize that when some nurses do the line changes they are not as sterile as they should really be. That really bugs me, I was taught to do it one way sterile and they totally do somethings wrong, which they could contaminate the whole line. I hope this line infection does not stop her from going to Palo Alto this coming week. She is scheduled to go on Monday but is on antibiotics and last time they didn't want her to go while she was being treated with antibiotics. Ugh this is getting very hard for me and very frustrating. I just hope they get rid of the line infection and she gets omegaven on Monday. That is her set date the 28Th, the doctor will be back into the country on the 26Th and he will be ready to treat her. Adriana is still on her feeds, she is at 2ml every 6 hours and stops for 2 and back on for 6. So she gets 12ml every 6 hours and takes time to digest her food for 2 hours. She has been having residuals but is processing the food, so it's not like nothing is being precessed. She just takes longer to process it due to the stomach being squished. We will have a new doctor on service today, I just hope they don't take her feeds away. Every time a new doctor comes on board the plans change, I know she has short gut but she is tolerating her feeds even with residuals, she has been on feeds for about 2 weeks or so maybe even almost 3. I am not exactly sure what date she started but is doing well with them. Many doctors come on board and think just because she only has 45cm of small intestines that she just cannot eat, you never know what she can really do until you try, Right? Well look at her now she is not dumping her food, I know it is very little but hey before she was getting less milk and her ostomy output went way up. Now she is getting 18ml over 24 hours and has a lower ostomy output, her normal right now with feed is any where from 93-120 but last night she had 130 out, I am not sure if maybe it's because she has a infection or something. Well hopefully Adriana will get over her line infection and be on her way to Stanford on Monday. Here is a picture of Adriana yesterday, she is wearing her flower headband which looks really cute, I know it's big but the nurses couldn't help but put it on her and take her picture for me. I made her this headband and some others.
