Hello Everyone!!
Today is Easter and Sarah got her picture taken! She almost fits into that dress!
Today she is 2lbs and 14.5 oz.
They upped her feeds to 26ml every 3 hours.
They keep having to move her IV! She has had one, sometimes two every day since Monday!! Poor baby is like a leaky bucket!
Pseudomonas
Sarah has something called pseudomonas colonising in her tube. She is not sick from it and the only way to get rid of it is to extubate her or change her tube. Neither of which will happen for quite a while. It is a bacteria that grows in water. The water that is in her vetilator is completely devoid of any bacteria upon entering the tube but it can grow none the less. This particular strain that she decided to get is highly resistant and for that reason the UNM Hospital Infection Control has mandated that Sarah be placed under "Contact Precautions" which basically means we can have no skin to skin contact with her. We have to wear gowns and gloves when we go in to see her. It sucks.
Oh, that totally sucks about the no contact stuff...she needs that!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable Lyns!!!
ReplyDeleteI really hope they can get that bacteria under control so you guys can get back in there... She needs her cuddles!
