Sedation Issues (Again)

Lynnea's fever was up again today. The sputum cultures that were sent yesterday tested positive for signs of infection, but the specific infection hasn't been identified yet (so we don't know if this is the same bacterial infection as before, or if this is something new). During afternoon rounds the plan was still to do surgery on Wednesday morning. She was much more awake today than she has been in the past week, and very easily agitated. She spent much of the evening crying and trying to pull out her breathing tube. Hopefully the doctors will find a mix of sedatives that will work for her soon.
