Olivia's fever still comes and goes. When it spikes up though, it is not as high as it was before. We are still waiting for the results of her 2nd blood culture. Also, since it's been 24 hours since the last blood culture and she still has fevers, they ran a 3rd test on her. Blood culture results take about 2 days to complete They keep track everyday to make sure there is no bacteria brewing in her. She is also on a different antibiotic now that started yesterday. Even though her infection is most likely viral, she will continue with her antibiotics. This is a precaution because the port on her chest is being accessed, which is prone to infection.
This morning she ate about 6 spoons of noodles I made from home yesterday. This is the most she has eaten since we got here! I'm glad!
She was also being playful with the nurses this morning. She loves playing hide-and-seek with them!
In order for her to get home, she needs to be fever free for 24 hours and the blood culture needs to be negative. Her blood counts have consistently been good, which we are thankful for.
