Rachel was started on three antibiotics this week as she had an infection that was in her PICC-line, which had been in for about two months. They removed the PICC-line yesterday and put in another one. Also, they have done a sputum-culture this morning as a precaution; nothing has come back on it yet. Otherwise, number-wise, she seems to be doing pretty good. Since they started her on antibiotics, they are going to let her rest this weekend and not have her get up and move around the unit. She has been able to tolerate the feeds that she is getting through the feeding tube relatively well.
Please keep praying that we stay "bored" until a heart comes in. Also, please continue to pray for Emily as she recovers. In addition, there are a couple of "heart families" that were here when came in way back in April for Rachel's surgery that were eventually discharged. Unfortunately, they are back here with their little ones. Please say a pray for all the families in the PICU, especially, these "heart-families."
