Caya comes to visit Bella

Well all on Sunday night, Bella was poked three times to find a vein. No luck. The transport team wanted to continue trying but I said no more. Blood was drawn to see if she has an infection and everything is negative so far. She had a CT scan of her chest on Monday to see the progress of the fungal/viral infection and it seems to be improving. Tomorrow is her last day of the fungal medication for her lungs. Yesterday we arranged for Bella to go downstairs to visit Caya are cat. Daddy brought Caya to the admitting area and we sat Bella in the car with Caya. We had to keep the door open for her I.V. pole. It was an extremely emotional reunion for Bella. She cried and cried and cried and hugged and hugged and hugged Caya. Pictures to come soon. Bella has been feeling great the past two days. She has been eating extremely well. She was taken off of her TPN(food through her IV). She is gaining weight. She has her first roll! I wish I could say that! lol. We are calling her tummy Pudge. It is a super cute little tummy! She is 52.5 pounds now. A month ago she was 45 pounds! There has been no talk about going home tomorrow. There is nothing in Bella's file about being discharged. If not tomorrow than hopefully Wednesday. Pathology reports are in. There will be discussions of Bellas case on Thursday regarding bella's surgery and Dr. Loudon's findings as well as her MRI results. All doctors come together to discuss what is going on with bella. As soon as we hear the outcome, we will let you know. We are so greatful for all of you! Thank you, thank you, thank you! NEGUing from CHOC! mommy
