Slowly Improving

Apparently her electrolytes are not doing too bad so they will increase the feedings tonight. She started to run a fever today- it is currently at 101. The doctor just came in and said she did not know why she is running one since she is on a pretty good antibiotic already for the bladder infection and pneumonia. And now it appears she has an ear infection as well. The doctor ordered another blood test and urine test along with another chest xray to make sure the pneumonia has not worsened. She does not sound as rattly to me but she does seem to have a lot of stuff to cough up. Maybe she needs a stronger antibiotic. She has been awake most of the day with a few naps. Now at 10p.m. she is wide awake and does not want to go to sleep. She is constantly picking at her face like she always does. She really acted like she wanted to eat today but only would take liquids and jello. I asked tonight why she would not eat the other food and she said it hurt her throat. I think her throat must have been bothering her because she would drink the carnation supplement drink that she had stopped drinking before we came to hospital. So the fact that she wants to drink it makes me think she is feeling a little better and may start eating better soon. The doctor looked at her throat and said it was not red. So maybe it is just sore from the coughing or from ear infection. Please pray that she will be able to eat everything soon and that we can control the fever along with finding why she is having the fever. Please also pray that the pneumonia has not worsen. She is doing better so I hate to have another setback. She is back to talking a good bit when she is awake but not quite 100 percent. Thank you again for your prayers. They are working wonders.
