She is currently having an EEG done as the episodes that she was having two days ago have started back up again. Currently they are only happening when we reposition her thankfully, but the neuro team would like to see if they are seizures.
10.14.21 ICU 22
After a fairly quiet day yesterday, today came in more dramatically. The team had an x-ray done in the wee hours of the morning (about 3:45) and noted that there increasing indication of pneumonia in her left lung compared to yesterday. They had been noting all day yesterday how diminished her lower left lung sounded. Her sepsis markers in her blood have increased again significantly. Her fevers have continued. They are starting her on a broad antibiotic that would cover that and the growth from her abdominal incision infection while they wait for the tracheal secretion labs to come back. Today her secretions have increased and appear yellow. So far she is stable as far as respiratory support is concerned.
