IN CINCINNATI ONCE AGAIN

I KNOW IT HAS BEEN A VERY VERY LONG TIME SINCE I UPDATED. THE SAYING IS THE FEWER THE UPDATES THE BETTER SHE IS. NOT IN OUR CASE.... WE HAVE BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL MOST OF THE PAST TWO MONTHS AND I DID NOT HAVE MY LAP TOP.


SHE WAS MED FLIGHTED YESTERDAY FROM WESLEY HOSPITAL BACK HOME AND WE ARE CURRENTLY IN CHILDREN'S IN CINCINNATI. WE ALREADY MISS THE NURSES FROM HOME, ALICIA WAS FINALLY STARTING TO BE NICE. WE ALSO HAVE VERY GOOD NURSES HERE, AND ALICIA IS VERY WELL KNOWN.


ANYWAY THE REASON FOR BEING MED FLIGHTED IS DUE TO ANOTHER LIN INFECTION. THIS TIME IT IS YEAST, WHICH I HEARD IT IS NOT EASY TO GET RID OF. THIS IS THE SECOND INFECTION SINCE THIS LINE WAS PLACED. THE SURGEON WHO PLACED THIS LINE SAID IT WOULD BE NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO PLACE ANOTHER ONE  BECAUSE ALICIA'S MAIN ARTERIES ARE COLLAPSED. SO RIGHT NOW THE BMT DOCS AND SURGEONS ARE FIGHTING OVER IF IT SHOULD BE PULLED OR TRY TO SAVE IT. YEAST IS VERY HARD TO GET RID OF AND STICKS TO LINES. IF THE LINE IS PULLED THERE IS A CHANCE THAT ANOTHER ONE COULD NOT BE PLACED AND SHE WOULD LOOSE ALL ACCESS AND THAT IS NOT GOOD.


THE PLAN NOW IS TO DO AN MRI IN THE MORNING TO LOOK AT HER VEINS AND SEE IF THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO REPLACE IT. IN THE MEANTIME THE ARE RAISING THE DOSE OF ANTI FUNGAL GOING THROUGH HER LINE IN HOPES TO FIGHT THE BACTERIA.


I AM NOT SURE HOW LONG WE WILL BE HERE THIS TIME BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT MIGHT BE A WHILE. I PROMISE TO UPDATE WITH ANY NEW PLANS.
