Not Getting Better

Lynnea's fever was higher today than it has been the past few days. Again, blood cultures were done, along with urine cultures, and this time they are also running cultures looking for fungal infections. Hopefully the doctors will find the cause of Lynnea's fever soon. The good news for the day is that Lynnea actually tolerated her Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy better than expected. The doctors increased the diuretics that Lynnea is on because she is still retaining more fluids than they would like, and they increased the amount of blood pressure medication she is on because her blood pressure has been higher than they would like lately.
