No New Plan Yet

I was hopeful that we would have some sort of new plan today for Lynnea, but that's not the case. There was some vague talk during morning rounds about possibly doing surgery next week sometime, but nothing concrete. At some point she will also need another heart catherization, but there's no specific time frame for that either, but it will need to be done to help determine potential causes of her diastolic heart failure. She also spiked another fever today - 102.7 - so I don't know where that puts things. When she spiked, cultures were again sent - blood and urine (no sputum this time because that's been growing out the same stuff for weeks, so no one saw any need to culture it again right now). Her white blood cell count is still normal, and her CRP is down, which is a sign that the fevers are potentially not infection related after all. She also began gagging today, and her she's leaking around her feeding tube again, so her feeds were stopped until they can figure out why she doesn't seem to be tolerating them very well.
