I haven’t been able to update this like I’ve wanted to. It’s been busy and chaotic. Surgery went as expected. She did battle high fevers but was allowed to leave Tuesday. Her eyes remained swollen shut until yesterday (over a week post op). She still is only peeping them.

Friday, the 21st I woke up at 3am to Gaby whimpering and whining in her bed. I went to change her and she was burning up. I checked her temp and it was 104. We gave her a cool bath and some Tylenol and called the on call plastic surgeon who encouraged us to make the trip to Motts ER. She went through a battery of poking and prodding to rule out a handful of possible infections. She tested positive for Ecoli. And after her WBC increased to 35 and she continued to battle fevers they needed to test her for meningitis. The thing with that though it that regardless of the results she needs to be admitted and begin IV antibiotics treatment while they culture the fluid. So here it is Sunday night. They still haven’t figured out the source of the infection it her numbers are better. They have stopped antibiotics to see how her body reacts. Hopefully we can go home by Wednesday. In the meantime many of my friends have asked how they can help. My friends Aubrey and Tammy have set up a Facebook group and go fund me page. This is for those that want to help with dinners, time, or financially. We feel blessed for all of the love,prayers and support. And are super appreciative.
