Katy and Sean are Headed South

Katelyn had more problems with her Broviac line not drawing labs last night around 2300. It opened back up once again and it okay now. They are increasing her feeds once more through her J tube. Her kidneys are not building up toxins and other stuff. They do not want to overload her with fluids to flush the kidneys because most of the fluid she gets leaks out her arteries and into her chest and surrounding tissue causing more blistering. We just cannot seem to get anything easily. We are planning on doing her dressings change at 1600 hrs today. Katy should be back for them to help since we have yet another new nurse. I can only assume we will have seen all of them soon at one time or another. Katelyn seems a little more comfortable today with the increase in methadone yesterday. Her white blood count just keeps climbing and they are not sure what is infected. She is on two types of antibiotics already. They did get a culture to grow from her breathing tube but they think it might have been contaminated results from the tube and not her lungs. Either way they said the current antibiotics will cover it anyways. I will be headed home Wednesday night with Sean and Granny. I have to work and Katy needs a little alone time to relax. There is a benefit dinner my friends back home are putting on for Katelyn that we will be attending as well on Thursday. Hopefully it will go smoothly. I cannot thank everyone enough for all they have done.

As you can see below I was able to get the summary loaded in 5 or 6 different posts. The folks from PostHope were going to try to troubleshoot the issue for me as well. They have been very helpful and accommodating! The videos are still posted you just have to scroll all the way to the bottom.
