Bailey is doing well and seems to feel much better. There has not been any infection in any of the cultures. There is still one going but at this point everyone expects a clean reading.
She got another echocardiogram today so hopefully we can put this possible heart issue to bed.
She has been on strong antibiotics all week as a precaution and if there was an illness starting in her, I believe they killed it.
She is not gaining weight as fast as they want and yesterday actually showed a 3 ounce loss overnight. They have added a calorie suplement to her evening bottles. If it helps she will have to have at least 2 bottles a day at home in order to up her caloric intake. If it doesn't help they will discontinue and see how she does at home. I think once she can eat on her own schedule when she is hungry and not being forced awake to eat, we will see rapid improvement.
We are looking at a possible discharge on Monday if everything stays where it is and tests come back clean. Hopefully we will be able to keep her home this time :)
