All clear on the inside front
Today we have been a little concerned about Aria. Her heart rate is elevated, her breathing rate is elevated and she is still having her occasional spikes of temperature. All the other numbers say she is doing well but today it just feels a little off.
We found out this morning that the positive blood culture they got back is most likely a contaminated result so that eliminates that as a cause for her fever. The team then decided to give her a CT scan to make sure there wasn’t any pockets of nasty fluid that could be causing them. We were also weary of the scan showing leaks as the CT scans from the last transplant looked really terrible, contrast (the fluid they use to see where things are going) was EVERYWHERE but the bowel. We took her down after managing successfully to get a relatively large amount of fluid through her teeny tiny stomach without it coming back up. When we got to CT she got some intravenous contrast too, which is great because it means her kidneys are doing well enough to cope with it (which they weren’t last time).
The CT results were great, no leaks, no collections, do drama, PRAISE GOD! 😀
So the new theory is that her lungs are causing the drama and they just need to get stronger and they need to have the junk that may be sitting in them cleared out through good strong coughing and treatment.
We are glad that nothing HUGE has come up yet and appreciate all those surrounding her with prayer.
