Hospital Visit - March 2012

Darcia's Latest Facebook Posts... never a dull moment.

I was so looking forward to a quiet week this week...but Josie just won't go for it! We are in need of prayer for Josie, here's the short version of what it happening: Josie's IV line got compromised yesterday (long story) and we ended up taking her to the ER for 2 antibiotic infusions and blood cultures to make sure there wasn't an infection in her blood. She never spiked a fever or anything to... indicate infection, but they are very cautious when it comes to IV lines like the ones Josie has. Well, this morning I got a call from her pediatrician and it appears that the blood cultures grew "infection" and grew it quite quickly. So...now we are waiting to find out what needs to happen next. It could be we are admitted to the hospital or it could mean taking her in every day for blood cultures or something like this. The pediatrician is checking with the oncologist office and they will call me later this morning. I'll keep things posted. Meanwhile...Josie is acting incredibly cute and silly this morning, which is a huge blessing!


Finally got a call...Josie will be admitted today for at least 48 hours for observation and anti-biotic treatments. Will post more as I know more. Thankful that we were able to stay out of inpatient for this long - it's been since July of last year!
