Mary 10/17/11

Good News is that Mary DOES NOT have C-diff. She does have some type bacterial infection in her blood. They are waiting for the blood cultures to finish their results so they can identify where it is coming from. That is what is causing the high temperatures. Temperature was up to 103.3 earlier today, but it is down to normal now so they are giving her the platelets she needed. They couldn't give them when her temp was high.
 
The infection may be from the port they put in her chest, if so it has to come out. Then maybe be replaced in a month or so.
 
Her breathing is really difficult aand her heart rate is  up, so they are going to take another chest X-ray, checking her arterial blood gas, maybe some blood or increased liquids. This just going on now so I will update more on Tuesday if needed.
