"The Wheeze" as Wheezie is so very often referred to as in our house is still at the VRCC in ICU. She has made some improvements. Her temp and heart rate are now normal. Her glucose levels still remain in the normal range...so that is good (they have been worried about pancreatitis, which would cause her levels to increase). The amount of fluid in her abdomen seems to have gone down from Saturday to Sunday... and upon evaluation of the fluid on Friday and Saturday, there was no bacteria or food mater in the fluid (just neutrophils). The fact that there was no bacteria or food is good! But, the presence of the fluid is still not good. We are hoping it was a residual pocket of fluid from the surgery that kind of flaired up when she went off of her antibiotics the first time around and she just needs some super duper TLC and drugs to get completely through this. They are still syringe feeding her...but she actually ate on her own yesterday too! this is the first time in quite a few days that she has done this! YAY!
keep the prayers coming!

Oh good--it sounds like she's doing better. I'll keep the prayers coming, though. Poor old Wheeze!
