Ariana has been up and down for the past 2 weeks. I wasn't even sure what to post in the blog since she has been going thru many changes. Yesterday I went from holding her in the morning, she looked really good and comfortable to later come in to her being intibated again (put back on ventilator) and being tested for many things. They began looking at all her organs since she continued to test positive for a bacteria after being on antibiotics. They said once an infection is in the body for so long it could attach itself to organs; so they checked her brain, heart, kidneys, and did a spinal tap. They were not successful in getting the fluid they needed in the spinal tap and are suppose to repeat it today. However, today's blood results were negative for bacteria, so the infection may be resolving, now waiting to see if they will still want to redo the spinal tap.
They also want to test her for cystic fibrosis, because of the amount of mucous she's been having and her difficulty breathing. However, today her nurse told me she was tested for that when she was first born and it was negative. So I'm waiting to find out if they will rule that out.
Yesterday was tough, we went from being great in the morning to not stable in the afternoon. I don't know what to pray for anymore, I'm just thankful we have all of you out there praying for us.
