Adriana has been through a lot this week. She came down with a fever on Sunday or Monday so they took some blood cultures and urine from her. The urine came back negative and blood cultures came back positive for bacteria. They then took another culture to see what kind of bacteria it is exactly to know what kind of antibiotics to treat it with. Right now she is being treated with antibiotics, the doctors think the infection came from her GI tract and not the line but they are not 100% sure. So she hasn't been feeling great with this infection and fevers, they are giving her ibuprofen orally which is helping her fever. She was also acting very fussy the other day and they thought her neck was stiff. They decided they wanted to do a spinal tap on her, you heard right a spinal tap. They tried that yesterday and were not able to get any spinal liquid, the only thing they got was blood, and her platelets were low so they needed to infuse her. They then did an x-ray of her left thigh where her broviac line up to be to see if they could find any bacteria in her bone and they found nothing. They also tried to put PICC line in her head but were not able to because of her little veins being all beat up. Yesterday they did another spinal tap and were able to get some spinal fluid. They told me they only saw 3 white blood cells in the sample and that was good. They did not see any bacteria in there under the microscope, and they felt very sure she did not have meningitis. Which was a big relieve for us, so she is septic but it did not get to her brain or anything. So they also made her NPO because she had a big residual in her stomach the other day but just started her feeds again today. The nurse told me she looks much better and seems like she is getting better. I believe they also told me that they drew another blood culture and the results were negative so far, they are not sure if the infection is gone yet but she is still being treated with antibiotics. Monday is her big day Adriana will be transferred to Stanford and receive omegaven. So Adriana is getting better right now and just fighting off her infection.Adriana is our little fighter and has proved it to us.
