Gonzalez's Heart

Jaden is doing well. He is not to crabby anymore and is able to eat much better. He still has some discomfort especially when eating, but overall is happy again. He does not have the Roto virus but we are still waiting on one lab to come back so they are keeping him in isolation. This is better anyways because he gets over stimulated very easily and having a roommate is to much for him.

He does have bacteria in his blood, urine and spit. It is through out his entire body and they are not sure how he got it. My guess is the OR and they just don't want to take blame for that. They are going to have to put a PIC line in him to finish off his antibiotics. This will go in the arm and attach at the heart. Depending on what they find today will depend on if they let us go home with this line until treatment is done or if we will stay here. They will probably be putting the PIC line in tomorrow. Because he is such a hard one to get lines in, they will come to his room first to do an ultra sound to make sure it will work. Our surgeon's nurse, Chirstie who is wonderful, has requested the best person to do this procedure so hopefully there will be no problems.

Monday and Tuesday I so rudely cancelled visitors because I was way over the top and could not handle the stress. I have now settled into our new situation and we are open for visitors again. Sorry to all who I turned away..

Hopefully by day end we will have an action plan and know what we do from here.

Love you all!!!

p.s. For those of you who are bright eyed and bushy tailed, KSTP will be broadcasting live tomorrow from 6-7am from the Ronald McDonald House. Ronald McDonald and Rusty Gatenby from KSTP will be here and they are making breakfast for everyone. I may go down but not sure if I want to be on TV :-) I am interested in the yummy breakfast though.
