The doctors just rounded. No ID on the bug in her line, but the cultures they drew when we arrived last night are already growing the same gram positive. So, it's definitely not a mistake. They're hoping to get the ID soon, then they'll get the sensitivity in about 24 hours after that so we know for sure what antibiotic she needs to be on. She's a little bit crabby this morning, but not bad at all. For the most part she was smiling and dancing to a toy monkey and showing off for everyone. The attending doctor here this week smiled and said he wished we had a video camera to catch her on tape. She's like some medical marvel. When all the cultures and labs say she should be feeling awful, she's over here putting on a show! It looks like we'll be here for a few days at least. I'm sure they'll let us finish her course of antibiotics at home once the ID everything. They won't make any decisions on the line until we learn more about what's growing in her cultures, but it may need to be completely removed if they can't get rid of the bug. Chemo is postponed until she is completely clear of infection, likely it will be another 10-14 days.
I apologize for the influx of posts today. I'm trying to update on her bug AND Logan's bday. I already had a couple of things saved to post today for Logan. 1
