Been posting a lot on Facebook, but thought I should update here as well.
Her first day was a bit rough here at TCH, but day 2 went a little better. As of right now (day 3) we are watching her blood pressure and she currently is getting two iv meds and one other med every 8 hours to help keep her blood pressure high enough. Still very swollen due to all the fluids. Was a little more active this morning, but still really sleepy. The cooling blanket help'd bring her 107 temp down to 101-102. Getting pumped full of antibiotics to help fight the staff infection that was in her blood. A CT was done yesterday to check for any extra fluid or pressure in her brain before they do the lumbar puncture (hopefully doing today) which will check to make sure the infection did not get into her CSF (cerebral spinal fluid) which can happen after doing CPR.
Will also be going to IR to get her G-tube replaced with a GJ-tube so that they can start feeds (this will bypass the stomach and go straight into her intestine).
Still on the ventilator to help breathe, but has been reduced down to only 15% (maybe it will be taken out sometime today or tomorrow). Still in the PICU for now.
Side note: Mom, Dad and two brothers all had a positive Strep test but we also all had that wonderful shot in the butt to help and thankfully are all healthy again.
Thank you so much for all the support and prayers!!
