Nothing Exciting

Still nothing has really changed as far as Lynnea's condition goes. She's still not stable enough to be moved to the floor -- the main concerns are still her fever and low saturation levels. All of the cultures that were taken the other day have come back negative so far, so they still have absolutely no idea why she keeps running a fever. She had another echocardiogram today because they were concerned that maybe some of her symptoms (fluid retention, sweating, and the low saturations) could be due to poor heart function (which I've been worried about all week). Everything looked the same as it did on her last echo that she had two weeks ago, which is good news, but still doesn't provide any real answers about the cause of her symptoms. Not knowing the cause makes it very hard to know how to treat them. The doctors don't expect us to get to go home any time soon.
