Sepsis

Kade is still in the ICU and very sick. She's getting high fevers frequently even with all the antibiotics she's getting. They have ruled out C-diff like I previously thought but she still has pretty bad diarrhea. She is septic however her blood cultures and CSF cultures all continue to come back negative indicating it's not bacterial...yet. Infectious disease came by and said they want to wait for her white blood cell counts to go up a little bit first then do a contrast CT of her abdomen and her brain because that will show where the white blood cells are trying to attack and give them a better idea if how to treat her. She is going to continue to be in broad spectrum antibiotics and is also getting nutrition IV now. Her blood indicates the infection hasn't reached any if her organs yet which is something positive. She's so sick and miserable and it's scary. Please continue to pray that her body will respond to the meds and her counts will recover quickly so that she can fight this and feel better. It's very hard to see her like this.
