Not Much Change

Lynnea's fever spiked to 102.5 again today. Her white blood cell count and CRP both remain down, which is still good news. They are still holding off on her feeds for now. The general consensus seems to be that she's probably not tolerating them because she has severe edema (she's retaining a whole lot of fluid) due to heart failure. So, they are continuing to try to get her closer to her dry weight again, which would help a lot of things just work better. I don't know if they are going to start her on half feeds for now, or if they are thinking about putting her on TPN (IV nutrition); they will probably discuss it tomorrow. Nothing else new today.
