Still here

We are still in the hospital. The day the doctors first told us we may be able to go home the next day, Ambrosia hadn't had any breakdown on her bottom. They kept looking for her to, but she hadn't yet. So that was our ticket out of here. Unfortunately that same day after they had made their rounds she started developing the rash and sores they had been looking for on her bottom. We have all been diligent in changing her diaper often and putting a medicated cream on it but her bottom hasn't gotten better yet.

Her White Blood Count is also really high. Above normal now, which generally means you are fighting an infection of some sort. This could be the result of the breakdown on her bottom or something else. She has not been running a fever and the blood cultures they took from her 4 days ago still show no growth of any kind as far as infection. The doctor may want new blood cultures taken.

One good thing is for the past two days they have let me unhook her from the vital monitor machine and take her out of the room. Braeden spent all day Sunday here and spent the night and was here all day Monday. So being able to get out of the room with her and him was good and helpful for all of us.

We will see what the doctor says today when they make their rounds.. I am not getting my hopes up!
