Due to the continued slight fevers, and our continued concern about it. A viral panel was done and blood, trach, urine cultures were drawn last night. She was also started on 3 broad spectrum antibiotics to treat anything that might be growing. We just can not take a chance with her getting really sick, or having a major infection. All of the tests are still pending, she hasnt gagged/vomited today so that a good sign. And the new thing is that her PICC line has again stopped drawing blood back. Which means they dont have access to blood and have to stick her to get it for tests. Her PICC has done this a few times since we have been here and everytime they have been able to manipulate it and get it to work, but it looks like the time has come that she will have to get a new one. But this one has been in since November, so we are pretty lucky it lasted this long.  Not very happy about that because she will have to go downstairs to intervential radiology to have it placed, and moving her in never an easy task.  But she cant be scheduled for that until her blood cultures come back to be sure she doesnt have an infection. So hopefully we will know something about all that tomorrow.
