I was reading through the blog and realized that I never updated on the status of Angelica and whether she had to stay for 3 days or 14. Being as today is July 1st, and we were getting checked for an infection on June 26th and that makes 5 days… We did in fact test positive for a gram negative bacilli bacteria. There are apparently a whole family of bacteria with this class, and I don’t know enough to adequately explain where it came from, but I do know that after two days of receiving the antibiotic specific to the bacteria, Angelica is feeling much much much better.
It also means that we get the extended stay of 10 – 14 days. (which would put us going home next Wednesday to Sunday sometime).
Now that Angelica is feeling better…
we are making kale chips
And…
Playing Settlers
But all this comes with a price… My mom (Mrs Culley Sr.) has not been able to see the baby or visit Angelica for over a week because she had/has a cold, and if you know Merrilyn, she loves her grand kids and would never go that long without seeing her grand daughter in hospital, and would never never never wait that long to see her new-born grand son.
But you might be saying… the baby is home now, why can’t Merr go see the baby at home and how could that effect Angelica??? Well, Angelica’s immune system is so low right now that we have to keep the members of our immediate family illness free, or else we have to stop visiting. And right now, Patti cannot go without being able to at least visit on a regular basis. So people with coughs and colds need to keep away from our whole family. (My mom has been amazing at understanding all this and I would like to thank her as this is really really hard for her.)
Well keep praying that she doesn’t get further infections, that we have the least amount of complications and that our family gets reunited very very soon.
