Finally Admitted

Annie finally got admitted to Children's this morning. I wasn't surprised to hear that Annie has lost 6 pounds (she's down to 46 lbs now). The pediatrician ordered consultations with the neurologist, gastroenterologist, and infectious diseases. So far the neurologist has visited and has put Annie on IV ativan to help manage her seizures.

Infectious diseases has started her on IV flagyl to help treat the c-diff. They're continuing the vancomycin more aggressively and plan to keep her on it until she shows improvement. Infectious diseases says she needs to come off the cipro, but is unwilling to stop it until the urologist and pediatrician can meet and formulate a plan of treatment for when she gets a UTI. So hopefully she'll be able to stop the cipro tomorrow.

Annie is not receiving any feedings--just IV fluids now. We don't know what the plan is for starting to feed her again. We're still waiting for the GI to come discuss everything. But we're expecting them to order a colonoscopy and endoscopy.

So Annie will be in the hospital for several days, but at least now we know she's getting the care she needs and things will hopefully be looking up soon. We appreciate your continued prayers for her.
