Back in the ICU...

So Abby was moved back to the ICU in the middle of the night Wednesday night. It was a rude awakening for her the Residents that night were not very nice and just started making her drink contrast for a CT scan. They just started doing things with discussing them. This did not make my parent's happy at all. Poor Abby they were awful to her. I have to say this is the first time she has been treated poorly by Dr's but this was bad! So they decided because of her fever they wanted her back in the ICU. But she is treated very well down there so maybe that is better right now.
So they are really thinking Abby has CMV which is short for cytomegalovirus. Which is a very common Virus that most people get some point in there life. For healthy adults they probably don't even feel very sick but for small kids or immune suppressed adults it is worse. The symptoms are fevers usually at night and low white blood cells. She also has inflamed bowel according to her CT yesterday so that could be CMV it usually attacks some organ in the body so if it has to be any organ the bowels are better than her liver or kidney. The virus usually lasts 10 to 14 days. Abby showed first signs of it on Sunday so 5 days down, so we kind of hope that is what it is. Because at least she will get it over with and feel better soon.
The plan for now is to keep her on a slow IV drip of a high powered antibiotic and albumin which will help with her swelling issues. The antibiotic is more to protect her from infection because she has no immune system. Although we want to avoid neupogen for Abby because it was so bad last time. That is the medication that caused all of her bone pain. The doctor's feel that she needs to be on it. They don't think that her White Count specifically her Neutrophils will come up enough to protect her. So They will take every precaution to hopefully prevent adverse side effects. She is scared to death of it so I hope it goes well. That is really it for now. We really appreciate the continued prayers and support. We will be fasting for Abby on Sunday our parent's ward is having a fast and so is are whole family. So anyone has faith in fasting please join us in this fast for Abby. We would love for Abby to have no more complications and just be healthy again. Thank you for your faith!
