Hello. I have been a bit absent this week- I apologize for not giving an update sooner regarding Emy’s tunnel infection scare. It looked like it was infected early in the week, but when the pediatric nephrologist looked at the site, she said it did not look infected but irritated. Thankfully, it looks like the exit site and tunnel are not infected.
Emy had a good week. She was pulling well on her dialysis and has been looking less puffy. Her lungs are responding well to the CPAP and are much less wet. She weighs about 1.8 kg now, so she has grown quite a bit since she was born. Praise the Lord for these accomplishments.
Today, a bacteria called staph epi grew from her dialysis output, which means that her peritoneal infection is not completely resolved. She is still on the antibiotics she was originally treated with. Please pray that her peritonitis is resolved for good and that Emy overcomes this obstacle once again. Please pray for guidance for the care team as they navigate next steps for her.
