We Were Doing GREAT...BUT...

Amelia had a GREAT week out of the hospital.  She was eating more and her first clinicals were awesome.  But, we had a home nurse come in for a dressing change.  Some how, her PICC line got pulled out a little and the nurse pushed it back in.  This sent Amelia over the cliff.  Her heart beat jumped from about 120 to 150 and she had a horrible 16 hours.  She was very fussy and did not sleep well Tuesday night.  We talked to our cardio team and...you guessed it, we have check back into Hotel Phoenix Children's...we are hoping for some quick observations...as in a 24 hour visit.  We will see tomorrow.

So far, everything has been positive.  Lab work is showing strong returns, but some of her blood work is still very low (white blood counts).  Her kidney function is good.  The docs are testing her blood for anything is the first results have been negative.  She is on an antibiotic as a precaution.  We hope to have this as our shortest trip so far.

We pray for no negative test results.  Amelia has already jumped back a bit, but we are looking for more improvements tomorrow.

We checked out in time to be out before Thanksgiving, but it looks like we will spend at least part of our Thanksgiving in the hospital.

Blessings
