Trying to Stay Positive

Lynnea's fever went up yet again today, so again, blood and urine cultures are being done. The doctors also decided to put her back on Digoxin. Digoxin is a drug that is used to help heart function, specifically, to help the heart pump more efficiently. Lynnea was on Digoxin before this surgery, but I think that the doctors were hoping to avoid putting her on it again.

Lynnea did manage to give out a few smiles to people today, which is always a nice thing to see. Also, the doctors have decided to try switching her from a continuous feed through her G-tube to a more normal feeding schedule (but it will still all be through her G-tube for now; hopefully though, at some point, we will begin attempting bottle feedings again).
