Ollie's main Doctor made a visit a few hours ago and through out the conversation he kept saying 2 weeks. YUCK! The problem seems to be lack of medical services that come into the home each day to help administer the drugs. In Andalusia there is not a service of this nature for babies. I want whats best for O and I know that the Doc is doing what he feels he needs to do, it just stinks! I just think that there will be several times in her life when she will be hospitalized due to sickness, but as of now she is fine. Please understand that pseudomonas is very serious and it is important to try and knock it out with these antibiotics, but Ollie is not sick from it, it's just present. Anyway, we will stay and try to take advantage of having absolutely nothing to do besides hang out and play with O.
As for little Ollie, she is a trooper. Her picc line (IV) is in place and we are waiting for the first round of antibiotics. Just to fill everyone in-A picc line is a small, small catheder type thing inserted into a vein and then fed through the vein all the way to her chest. This means no burning at the place of entrance and the drugs can get to the main veins in her body to ensure they fight the infection/bacteria. It sounds and looks worse than it is.....it is in the side of her head. She doesn't even know it's there. Looks like those cute little headbands will come in handy to cover it up.
I've had some people ask for room # and address for where we are and I finally found it-
Children's Hospital
1600 7th Avenue South, Tower 5, Room 545
Birmingham, AL. 35233
Thank you for all the prayers!!!
