11.2.17 Infection 5

Mostly positive day today. Depending on the night, we hope to have the drain removed tomorrow and the dressing changed out. Aimee made good progress on increasing fluids. Not quite off of IV need yet, but getting closer. We are cautiously hopeful that with a few more positive steps forward, we will be able to bring Aimee home soon. 

We are hoping to meet with a nutritionist while we are here to discuss potential ways to bolster Aimee’s feeding situation. It was a lot for her body to go through 3 surgeries in the past 6 weeks. It is so much more to go through them with such a low amount of nutrition. There have been less than a handful of days with full amounts of food since mid-September. Large majority of them she has received less than half. And a good amount of time has been just pedialyte or water. We want to give her any leg up we can towards healing completely and being strong going into this winter.
