Another fun day at PCH!!! Taylor coughed most of the night and was still coughing this morning. So, they decided to swab her again to see if something else was going on. She tested positive for H1N1....seriously!!! They were also concerned that she might have pneumonia so she was taken down for a chest x-ray. Luckily her lungs are clear and she doesn't have pneumonia. They are re-starting her on Tamiflu. She will get chest x-rays every 2-3 days for awhile to make sure her lungs stay clear. She had a pretty good morning but started throwing up this afternoon. She threw up a couple of times and then seemed fine. She has not eaten 1 bite of food today and just threw up again about 5 times. They are going to give her a second nausea medication to see if that will help. She is also getting a blood transfusion tonight. So....alot going on today!!!
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. For those of you who had expressed interest in visiting over the next couple of days, please hold off. We are in isolation and they don't want any visitors for a couple of days.
Aleeya is still in the PICU. She has a bacterial infection and her body went into septic shock. She is on numerous antibiotics and blood pressure medications. Her blood pressure has been really low. She will stay in the PICU until they can get her infection under control and then back up to the 2nd floor. They don't think this has anything to do with her leukemia. As far as I know, she is still in remission, but very sick. Please continue to pray for her.
Thank you all for your prayers for Taylor....she needs them right now.
