Hold On a Minute!

When I arrived here at the PICU today the nurse practitioner painted a bit of a dismal picture. She told me that Liliana is not going in the direction they want her to. Her fluid output was on the positive side and her white blood cell count was up. They have done several blood cultures on Liliana and they keep coming back negative which is good but that doesn't explain the high white blood cell count. Also she is still having the bloody secretions when they suction her lungs, although when they just suctioned her the blood was not fresh and new it was older which is a good sign. Long story short...since she has an infection going on surgery may be postponed. They were not sure what Dr. Mavroudis would decide to do as of yet. So we will wait and hope that the new antibiotics they put her on will do the trickand that her infection will go away so she can have her third surgery next week. Well, one good thing is that her fluid output is now on the negative end and continuing to go further south. Hang in there baby girl! Keep on fighting and never give up! It reminds me of 2nd Timothy 4:7. I have fought the good fight, I have completed the race, I have kept the faith. She may not have completed the race yet, but we have kept the faith and believe that she will finish.
