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).
