Hospital day 2 9/22/22

Braylee woke up this morning ready to rock and roll. Immediately asking to play Xbox and if she could go home today. Sadly only one of those requests could be filled. She told me that she really wished we could go home since it is my (Mom) birthday. Not exactly how I wanted to spend it but I will take her getting better and getting back to herself as my present. 

Her head is feeling and looking so much better! Her nose is a little tender from the procedure but nothing she can't handle.  She is on 3 very big IV antibiotics. Just trying to cover all of the bases until the cultures come back. Which they had started growing stuff already this morning but it was still too early to tell which bacteria it is. So hopefully we'll find out tomorrow and we'll be able to get rid of at least 1 antibiotic. The infectious disease team came by this morning and informed us that she will be going home with a PICC line so that we can administer the IV antibiotics at home and not have to stay in the hospital for the next 4-6 weeks. I'm hoping they can get that PICC line placed tomorrow and then there will just be training us parents to use it and waiting for the cultures to grow and hopefully be getting out of here.  We're so happy that we will get to go home sometime in the near future! 🤞🤞

She went for a good walk earlier and got to go play in the play room this afternoon. 

Thanks everyone for all of the thoughts and prayers! She's not totally out of the woods but she's at least heading in that direction.
