Home for Christmas or NOT?!!?!

Lyla was moaning all through the night, at 3am she had a 101.7 fever. I gave her Tylenol and then again at 730am, and she was breathing fast. I took her to Cooks ER, praying she doesn't have a line infection, and maybe just a typical baby thing this time. When we got there her temp was 103.7, they gave her Motrin and it went down... for a while.


Did labs, blood cultures, urine cultures, and chest xray.
Labs were decent. which I forgot to tell yall, last Monday her labs showed her bleeding time elevated. so it would take longer for her to clot. and we started Vitamin K to help with that.

Anyways... her urine culture had some blood, but everything else looked fine. her urine is very dark and the last diaper I changed had blood in it. It could just be from the catheter. We are still waiting for blood culture.

Her xray showed early signs of pnemonia. They started antibiotics, and she is going to get more xrays later to see if there is more, or less.

She got admitted. We are on the 4th floor, her floor :) its funny because I heard her nurse in the hall say she has the most famous patient.

GI Dr. Olgunmola came in and checked her out. He and I both think she has a infection from her central line, and that is what caused the lung infection. but we have to wait til the blood culture comes back to know forsure. If it is negitive and her fever stops then we can go when she is done with the antibiotics. If positive then we have to find the right antibiotic and all that stuff. & wont be home for Christmas.

Poor baby girl doesn't feel good at all. I will keep yall posted!!!


 Congrats to DJ Kofford!!! He graduated UNT tonight!
