Another Day/Some Findings

Another okay night followed by lots of throwing up and more diarrhea this morning.  This is getting pretty old, especially for mommy.  

Last night’s labs came back and Rebekah has a colon/intestinal infection called “C-Diff” (which is all I have gotten from mommy so far this morning and not even sure that we have that right).  It is pretty highly contagious BUT (no pun intended) easily cured/protected from by proper hand washing after contact with Rebekah or anything that comes out of her.  We are switching antibiotics to something that attacks this more directly.  Doctors are not holding out much hope for leaving in the next couple of days.

Really difficult on us is that Rebekah needs to be kept away from little kids who can’t take proper precautions (like keeping their hands out of their mouths without washing).  Unfortunately that means no contact with baby Sarah which usually helps Rebekah a lot.  We are definitely going through Sarah withdrawals – I think daddy more than anyone!  

Emotionally I am doing a bit better than yesterday.  The 20 month old baby boy is still alive, which I was not sure was the case yesterday, and really in need of prayer.  Not sure where we go from here.  Not sure when we do it.  Frustrated at the lack of control (as always).
