Well, we have our first full day of this stay under our belts. Eden has been a trouper; but, she is still experiencing some of the previously mentioned concerns. She still does not like having her vitals checked and is still not acting like herself.
Eden's doctors are treating her for sepsis due to her high fevers and low blood pressure. It is a kind of virus in her blood. They have not determined that she has sepsis but because of her blood counts they will give her the regimen of antibiotics without knowing. This news qualified us for a ten day stay. The unfortunate part is that we are highly restricted. Last night, we mentioned that she cannot leave the room. A mere jaunt down the hall to the kitchen means gowning up for Kurt and me. Visitors are strongly discouraged because of these precautions. Please pray for healing of Eden's little body and that we are able to find enough to keep her busy and entertained in a small room for nine more days:)
Our room phone is 319-353-9461. You are welcome to call and we ask everyone to call before visiting.

Kurt, Selena and Eden; I'm sorry that you are confined to your room. We know all to well what that is like, we feel for you and pray for you to find things to occupy Eden's time as well as your own. We pray that her fevers go away and her blood pressure goes back to normal.
ReplyDeleteI'm sad that you are just down the hall from us but we don't get to see you. But it of course is best for our babies to avoid sickness. Tell Eden that we pray for, sending her hugs from down the hall and blowing her kisses to get better soon.
We love and well wishes!
Love; The Waters Family!
We are praying from here that she starts to feeling better and that you find things to occupy her. If you think of something that would help do that please post it here so those that love and care for you can help out. Don't be afraid to ask for things....we all want to help out any way we can!!
