Day 4 11/18/21

Today has been a good day. She's been her normal sassy, funny, cute little self. We found out this morning that her cultures did start growing. As of right now all we know is it's a gram positive cocci, most likely a type of staph.  The lab was letting it grow more today so that they have a bigger sample to test and then they have to run a sensitivity test on it to see which antibiotic works best on it. So we are still hoping to get out of here tomorrow but depending on how long the tests and everything take it could be Saturday.  But we are so happy that we have answers and know what we are dealing with! 

She got her head wrap taken off today and that turned her attitude totally around, that thing was really making her mad. Now she gets to wear a hat to try and keep it clean, dry, and so it doesn't get irritated. Luckily I found the perfect kind at a sporting goods store here, light weight and breathable.  Her incision is still wet on that one spot and I noticed when I got to do her hair tonight that 2 more spots we're looking a little wet. So we really need those sensitivity tests to come back quick so we can get on the right antibiotics. 

We went and played more Jenga in the playroom, played with the trains and she organized the play kitchen because she just couldn't stand it anymore. 😂 And she got to video chat with one of her best friends. So it has been a really good day!! 

Hopefully tomorrow I'm updating that we're discharged!
