Still here!

And we probably will be  for a little while longer. Quinn has been tolerating full strength at 30ml/hr for the past couple days, but now she's back to feeling lots of pain with feeds. We are treating her pain and stopping feeds for an hour when it gets bad then restarting. She also hasn't pooped in a few days...

She's been battling fevers off and on too, up to 103.

Her line is positive for gram negative. They have been increasing the vancomyacin and rocephin dosages every day. just sucks. Aside from Monday, clinically she isn't doing terrible and so far, the infection has not spread into her whole body, so this is good news. Unfortunately, we probably won't be home for at least a few more days. : ( We have been here for just about 2 weeks and this is putting a HUGE crunch on my financial situation. I am going to look into TANF to see if they can help me temporarily as rent is going to be a major blow this month, especially considering that I no longer have any help from the X boyfriend. Everything that is going on right now is just so stressful... the past few months have been difficult, but add a break up into the mix and then a long hospital stay... I'm just not prepared for anymore bad news right now. And i just want to be home. So does Quinn. she is starting to get depressed i think. she's crying for her family every night. She misses them all.

I really hope we are out by Easter. The church is putting on a little show and Quinn was suppose to be in it. she's been practicing. The good thing is, my dad is coming here with the video camera so we can record her doing the show and they are going to play it on the big screen at church so she can "be" there. I think that's the sweetest thing... this is just in case we don't get out by then. But, i was basically told not to expect discharge for a few days at least. ugh!
