Still Sick

Peyton's been home from the hospital since the 16th!  She continued on the IV antibiotics at home once her port was deemed to be usable!  That was a week ago today.  Her needle needed changed today (they have to be changed weekly if the port is continuously accessed).  I did that myself!  All is going well with the port.

Peyton, however, started to get sicker the other day.  She started running a low temperature and her heart rate was starting to climb again.  I contacted the pulmonary clinic and they've decided to have her continue on these antibiotics (which would have ended Wednesday) and also add a second IV antibiotic for another 7-10 days.  So my crazy med / sleep schedule doesn't show many signs of improving anytime soon.

Please pray that she improves SOON.  We are supposed to be leaving to head to Children's Hospital in Boston on 8/11 (by car) and she needs to be well and not on IV antibiotics for the trip!  I wouldn't want to risk anything happening with the port while we are away!

Thank you so much.
