2nd Infection

Dylan came down with another infection today the 26th. The blood culture is showing signs of Grand Negative Bacterial Infection. This is concerning as it can turn into a fungal infection which is not good. So they started him on more medicine, gave him a blood transfusion, more dopamine and a couple of bolis' to see if it would help him go potty. I didn't Kangaroo today and they didn't move him because he was so sick. He didn't move much or open his eyes all day. Dr was honest and told us in the morning he didn't know if Dylan would recover. This is not what I needed to hear. So I called Dylans dad and had him come up and talk tot he doctor after he got off work early. Well by the time Brad came up there, Dylan had started to go potty a little bit and was a little more active. The Dr. was more positive at this time. This was better news than I had heard in the morning. I was still positive as I knew my little boy would get better. The 27th Dylan was going potty more, his kidneys by the numbers looked worse but by the way he was acting that was a positive sign even though the blood work showed otherwise. The 28th when I came into see the little guy he had been awake since 5:30am, he was so alert and just looking around and wouldn't go back to sleep. It was 11 am before he would take a nap, silly little boy. He was definetly feeling better!! So we decided to Kangaroo again today. I was totally fine with it. They were going to change his bed out again during the process. The RT remembered I liked warm blankets so she ran for them once Dylan was on me. Dylan got a sore on his ear from not being able to be moved the other day when he was so sick. So this ear was down on my chest hoping it would help it a little bit. He did a great job and Dylan and Mommy both loved it!! At just 2 hours I had to go potty and they decided to move him back. On the way back RT noticed that something was pulling his tube, the nurse said lets continue on. They moved him back and the RT noticed NO vibration in his chest, this was terrible the vent tube had been extracted. I stepped out to call daddy and when I came back the Dr was in there. They had to replace the vent tube which is not something they like to do. They got it in and Brad and I were angry. The Dr. was angry as he thought that something as far as the checks and balances was not right. He would correct that for the next time we went to Kangaroo, our poor little boy. What he has gone thru and we are only able to help him in spirit...
