Back in the Hospital

Our little girl started having fever on Thursday around 6:00pm and also her sugar levels were very high which was strange, so we took her to the emergency room and they admitted her. She is in a hospital here in Victoria, with an infection, and from a process of elimination it looks like it is from the broviac site. The baby girl has had to endure a barage of tests all the while being sick.

Unfortunately, they put her on the regular pedi floor instead of the nursery or NICU (they couldn't admit her to the nursery because she is too many days past her due date - technically she is almost 5 months old) and so this means we have to stay with her 24/7. I am not complaining about spending time with my beautiful daughter, but I have to admit that this is definately more exhausting than SA.

Right now the best case is that we get to go home after she has had a week of antibiotics but time will tell us more. If the broviac site needs to be lanced, because of infection build up, then they will send us back to SA.

Pray for Ella to be rid of the infection, rest well (hasn't been sleeping very good), strength for us (Aaron and my mom have been life savers), and protection from any other infection from the many people that come through her room(the hospital is not as protected as the NICU).
