Kate has e-coli and gram positive rod (bacteria) in her line and blood. I was told that we all have different bacterias in our bodies & stomach, including e-coli. Because we have healthy immune systems, and a large white blood cell supply, our bodies can block these bacteria from entering out blood supply. Kate has no white blood cells as of yet, therefore, she has no defence system against these bacteria. They can leave her stomach and pass through her stomach lining very easily. We are waiting to see what these bacteria are sensitive to so we can decrease her antibiotics down to one. If she continues to get positive e-coli tests we will have to remover her line early. So far we have only had one positive test for the gram positive rod, and the e-coli. Let's hope it stays that way! No fevers since early Saturday morning! Yay! At least that antibiotics seem to be doing their job!
Thank you for all the prayers!
XOXO
