Lynnea has now been in the hospital for two months. Today she had a bronchoscopy, which didn't show anything we didn't already know (her left mainstem bronchus is compressed and only stays open when she's on a high PEEP setting on the ventilator). Blood and urine cultures from yesterday are negative so far, and her sputum looks like it is growing something out, but it's too early to tell what (most likely stenotrophomonis -- the same things it's been growing out for the past two months).
Lynnea was very lethargic all day today, so she slept most of the day. No fevers until this evening, when she spiked again to 102.2. Her blood pressures were fluctuating quite a bit today, and dipping pretty low at times. Because she doesn't seem to be feeling well, no more ventilator settings were weaned today because we don't want to set her up for failure.
