Tuesday

Todd and I decided not to do the IVIG last night. From the research we did the risks were too much for us to feel comfortable without asking the doctor more questions. The doctor was gone by the time we had enough information about what and why, so we figured since it wasn't an emergency thing we could wait until today to ask questions. Last night was a rough one. Kate has developed a cold since we have been here. Her cough was dry for a couple days but now she has a nasty runny nose and a deeper cough. It sounds painful. The coughing kept her up for awhile last night. She would wake up and just cry. She was so tired, it was so sad. They decided to give her a chest x-ray today as well to make sure this cold is not the result of an infection. Also, they flush her central cathetor everyday. Today one of the lines was just fine but the second was difficult to flush. They'll try again in 6 hours, if it is still difficult to flush there might be a clot in there. It is treatable and they'll be able to get it out, we just don't want there to be any complications. I'll update later. Thanks for checking in!
