Sunday Afternoon 1/27 Update

For all intensive purposes we're in a holding pattern.  They have decided to hold off on the lumbar puncture as they're now treating with the thought that she was/is going down the path of necrotizing Interial Colitis.  Essentially concern is that's the scary road this could be.  Heart rate is still too high, glucose too low, hemoglobin too low.  While not meningitis thought process at this time, still no good.  If not treated correctly or soon enough we're looking at sepsis & that road.  Docs are confident with the cocktails of Diflucan for possible fungus concerns, Zosyn, Vancomycin.  They've cut all feedings as she is not digesting anything other than the pushed in nutrients.  She's now on her 3rd blood transfusion in 2 days.  While things aren't near as positive as they were a few days ago, she seems to have a bit more energy than what she has for the past 2 days.  We're being reassured that while this is a serious situation that needs to be addressed & heavily monitored, it's not out of the things they see or handle on a somewhat common situation.  Her color is slightly better on that note.  Good thing we're in one of the highest rated Level 3 NICU's in the world, bout the only thing keeping my own blood pressure from boiling.
