Friday, May 29, 2009 Today's Update

Shailee is doing ok. Her pulmonologist did NOT clear her for the trach surgery, he said that her chest x ray looked too hazy, so he ordered a lung ultrasound, as well as a gram stain which tests her secretions for bacteria infections. well the cultures grew out so she is on antibiotics again for an infection but they said that it is minor. she will be on them for 7 days and they will test her again. he said that he is not going to clear her until he is 100% sure that she doesn't have an active infection. other then that she has been doing great, she is staying awake alot more and playing and things, but she is no where near being in the clear, she has a long road ahead of her. that is really all that is going on with her right now and i will update more as soon as i know.
