A little bit of good news for a change. The bronchoscope from this morning showed that the antibiotics are working and that the infection/fungus in her trachea are healing nicely. The doctor did find one little spot of blood and have sent it off for a culture and we are waiting on the results of that. Overall, the trachea seems to be healing.
Also, waiting to hear from the cardiologist that will perform the heart-cath to see when he can do the procedure. He was wanting to wait and have clearance from the infectious disease doctors (as a result of the infection/fungus that was in the trachea) before he does the heart-cath.
Another thing is that they have sent away some blood work to check to see whether or not she may have pancreatitis, which may be causing her to feel nauseated.
So the plan for today is to let her rest as much as possible. They had to sedate her for the bronchoscope and she is completely out of it for now.
