They are putting a line in so that they can get blood throughout the night and not wake her. She also is on two new IV antibiotics ... a cefalosporin (forget which one) and Clindamycin. Tomorrow she said the surgeons will explain the next steps....she is going to need daily treatments to that one wound and dressing changes and due to the extensiveness of that wound, she will need daily anesthesia. That presents a problem because of eating...they may have to put some kind of feeding tube in...and obviously they cannot do it through her throat.  I guess they are thinking a gastric tube.
There is no tear in the esophagus or the trachea. They did get a good sample from the lung for biopsy and also a culture was done of her one wound. The preliminary report on that will be in tomorrow.
I am so hopeful. She said that this little one is quite a fighter. Oh...and she said that Summer already has some fans there. 
Please pray super hard and often! |
YAY! I'm so glad Summer made it through phase one. I have a good feeling for her future. We will keep her in our prayers.
