Still inpatient...

Okay, so on Monday Kaelyn had her drain changed and cholangiogram done. The IR Docs were able to get out a bunch more of the sludge ball and dilated the two strictures (areas of narrowing) in her bile ducts. Things look pretty good in there. She is feeling much better. We are just waiting for two days of negative cultures. We have had one day, so hopefully yesterdays will come back negative and will be able to go home today. Fingers crossed.

Kaelyn was really funny yesterday. Her preschool teacher, Marilyn, came by for a visit and brought her a tiger mask from the zoo. Kaelyn loved it! I have never seen her so aggressive as when she put on the mask! She ran around the whole unit "scaring" all of the nurses, even other parents when they would come out of the rooms she would go right up to them and growl! It was so funny! She wore it for a very long time, even down to the cafeteria and play room. What a hoot!

Anyway, I guess that just shows you how good she is feeling, I think she needs to wear the mask when the docs come by and scare them into letting us go home today! Roar!

Love to all!

Back in...

On Saturday night Kaelyn spiked a fever, so back in we went. She topped out at 104 degrees. It was no fun. She is feeling much better now after starting IV antibiotics. Right now she is having her drained changed and a cholangiogram. It was a very long day with a grumpy, hungry girl - but she should feel much better with a new, clean drain. She does have positive blood cultures so we will be inpatient for atleast a couple of days.
