Found Infection...

Mama had a CT scan today and they found a pocket of infection in her abdomen so they have inserted a tube to help drain the infection. Her fever has come down in the last few hours but it's still not quite normal temperature so we're hoping that was the cause and she will be able to start recovering. She had a break from the ventilator twice today but she's been so exhausted that it only lasted an hour each time. She's doing great and staying as strong as possible but she needs rest in order to recover. They have increased her tube feedings to the "goal amount" and she's complaining about acid reflux. They have been giving her zantac for it but she still feels sick. It could be a side effect from the contrast she had pumped into her stomach before the CT scan or the increased amount of food so they have lowered her amount in the tube feeding for now to see if that helps her feel better. The last few times she's woken up she has had a lot of anxiety because she has to stay laying down and she can't drink anything due to the ventilator so they have given her a little bit of anxiety medication to help her relax enough to sleep. She amazes me!
