We know. Her lips again.
The blow-by oxygen really dries out her lips, so with the nose cannula, they are beginning to improve.
Sheโs been fever free for over 24 hours!
Basically, she hasnโt had a fever since they began the antibiotics yesterday afternoon.
Also, once starting the antibiotics, her wound has been healing well.
Thereโs been a lot of pain management today. Sheโs just been uncomfortable.
Theyโve given us back the button for her pain meds, and have stopped her weans for now.
They donโt want to add any withdrawal symptoms on top of her infection symptoms.
In good news, sheโs been taking in fluids well today! Both water and formula.
Obviously she wonโt be coming home tomorrow. And most likely wonโt be home by Thanksgiving.
The doctors want to keep her on the VOD medicine for another week; so through Thursday or Friday.
We definitely want her well before anything else.
Just as weโve done several times this year, weโll pivot and celebrate after she gets home.
Right now, weโre simply glad to see her improving. Happy her fever seems to be gone.
And grateful that she was able to find some relief today while she watched her favorite movie: Moana.
