Well, today was a mixed bag. Baby NiNi spiked a fever, so they pan-cultured her, removed the foley catheter, and started big-gun antibiotics. The surgeon is confident she will be ready for surgery Friday.
Before they could swap out central lines, my punkin coughed out her breathing tube. She didn't do well on her own, so they had to sedate her and put the breathing tube back in. So tonight they are putting in the central line and removing the one from the left ventricle.
On the positive side, Baby was alert and smiling at me today, holding grandma's hand, and her echo was excellent again. So we wait and continue to hope and pray for my miracle baby.
Still praying for baby NiNi:)

ReplyDeleteJust checking back in to let you know I'm praying!!!! I didn't notice the adorable bunny slipper last time...too cute! I will be heading out of town until Saturday and may not have internet. Please know that I am still praying!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, Having just been through a similar situation myself...daughter home from China at the end of January, open-heart surgery - Glenn -March 4th, extended drainage, spiked a fever, ended up with a blood infection, a 4 week stay in the hospital...I'm praying for strength for you and for baby NiNi. I know how small and surreal life in the hospital can feel after a while. Hang in there!!
ReplyDeleteSending you prayers for healing, and peace. Your little NiNi is one awesome little baby! Take gentle care.
