Louie called to let us know her white blood cell count is up. Her fever spiked yesterday but has gone back down. We are very concerned right now was there is new danger that her new heart valve could be infected.
She may also have a blood clot in her leg and are watching this very closely.
She pulled her feeding tube out of her nose this morning (which is good that she can respond to pain and when uncomfortable) but because it took 5 tries to get it down the first time. It is reinserted now. :)
They tried giving her ice chips to watch her swallowing reflex (to be able to eat real food) but have not determined anything yet. It is do soon to do a barium test to know all of her swallowing capabilities yet.
They have done another echo cardiogram on her heart, no results yet, but all of her vitals are good (pressure, pulse, etc.).
