Well its been a rough week with being intubated again and all. Today I heard daddy talking to my doctor #1 and he was saying that I more than likely have something that the doctors and nurses call a staph infection. I don't know what that means but I sure do feel yucky these days! The doctor is giving me some really strong antibiotic things that are supposed to kill all the bacteria things in my blood....but I still feel real real yucky all the time.
Now that I'm reintubated, I have to be suctioned out a lot, and with the infection in my blood I get suctioned about every hour these days. That's a lot of suctioning for a little guy like me.....but the bacteria stuff in my blood makes my lungs all cruddy with bad stuff that makes it really hard for me to breathe.....so even though I sometimes complain when the nurses stick the sucker thing down my tube it makes me feel tons better. Well, at least a lot less yucky!!!
Lately, I have been getting a lot of antibiotic stuff through an IV, and today I even got some blood because they take a lot out of me for all of my tests. Well, its a lot for me cause I'm small. Today after I got done getting my blood, they were gonna give me my antibiotics, but they found my IV thing wasn't working right....it was infiltrated and leaky or something like that...all I know is they took it out. Yippee!! Well, that was short lived because as soon as they got it out they started putting another one in:( That made me pretty sad, but I'm pretty lucky today because I get two nurses to take care of me. Karee and Aimee are realy good at the IV thingys and that's nice because then it doesn't hurt quite as much. Since I've had two IV's already, one in each arm....they're going to put the IV thingy in my head. I haven't had a brain vein since the first week I was alive. I going to go so I can have my antibiotics, that way I won't feel all yucky anymore.
