Better!
Aria is doing much better today. Â She is smiling and laughing and talking again, all good signs she is better! Â Medically speaking her white count (infection marker) is down from 20 to 13 overnight so it appears she is on the right antibiotics/anti-fungals to manage this infection.
We feel really grateful that she did so well with this infection. Â Having yeast (fungus) in your blood is very serious, even more so than bacteria. Â Besides her heart rate getting high, low grade temps and having to need a bit of oxygen her little body coped very well. Â It could of be so so much worse. Â Thankfully the team and us got her to hospital within an hour of her first temp spike and we able to catch these bugs and treat them.
Aria is going to the OR tomorrow for another line. Â Really hoping that her peripheral in her hand lasts overnight!
Also the big relief of the day was that her biopsy results are all negative for rejection and graft V host. Â Also negative for Norwalk but it is still positive in her output. Â So we box on and hope to clear this virus from her gut. Â They are going to try a new medicine thru her intestine tonight to clear the Norwalk. Â The staff refer to it as witchcraft and voodoo, jokingly, as they don’t have a lot of faith in it’s effectiveness. Â BUT is has worked in some people and God will either bless it or He won’t.
So we are quite relieved and keep looking forward to a time when this nasty virus will clear and her intestine will work again.
Thanks for your prayers!
