Recovery…

Hannah is doing better than she was a few days ago.

We haven’t seen a fever in a couple of days, and she is not spitting up anymore (perhaps it wasn’t reflux related after all?)  Also, the hospital lab called me yesterday to tell me that her trach culture grew out nothing out of the usual, meaning definitely no trachiitis.

She is still definitely worn out and drained.  Took 3 naps today (even though the second one was only about 20 minutes long because we had to wake her up).  Doesn’t want to play much at all and just wants to cuddle.

Perhaps she just got a stomach bug?  Would explain the spitting up (and eventual aspiration of what she spit up), would explain the fevers, and would also explain the uncomfortableness she has felt when she was being fed.  Of course, we have no way of knowing for sure.  But then, can you get a stomach bug if you are fed the same formula every day?

Tomorrow we meet with her pediatrician to do a follow up just to make sure she is still ‘on the mend.’
