Muriel's blood cultures are NOT growing! We won't have a definite negative for 5 days, but as Dr. Penk told us last night, the results they get "excited" about come back relatively quickly and are treated agressively. If she does have a positive result in the next few days, they will simply administer antibiotics. In summation, no blood infection so far!
Muriel hasn't been interested in food this morning and what we did get in-3 grapes- she gagged but kept down. This could be due to the NG tube. Things are definitely going well and she is getting her last chest tube out today! Coumadin will also begin again tonight, which will take around 3 days to get the dose correct. This means we could be going home as soon as Tuesday! Sadly, Jeff lost his grandpa and the funeral is also on Tuesday in Polo, IL.
