We had another wonderful night of sleep(lessness) in the hospital. Anabelle did really well, and her appetite seems to be back up. As of 8:00AM, her fever is officially gone! We decided to not give her Tylenol yesterday to see if her fever comes down naturally, and I'm so glad we waited!
Dr. Miles came in this morning to give us the latest update. They got the preliminary blood cultures back, which shows bacteria in her blood. He believes it's a result of the UTI. We have to wait on the urine cultures to come back, probably tomorrow, to confirm. If that's the case, then Anabelle needs to be on antibiotics for at least 7 days total. They started her on generic ones Monday at 1AM, so that will keep us in the hospital until at least Sunday, maybe later.
That's all we have so far. She's still seeming to be better but is sleeping a lot this morning. We'll be here, in this room, for several days to come! That means lots of reading, movies and snuggling with our baby girl. And we're happy to do it, if it means she'll be 100% soon!

I'm sooooo glad you guys didn't wait until Monday morning to call the doctor again! Things could have been much much worse by then!!!!!!
hang in there. I know a week feels like forever to be in a hospital, but before you know it this will be a distant memory! Glad she is doing better. We are praying for her and for you guys. Make sure you are taking care of yourselves so that you are healthy and ready to go when she goes home!
Oh my Biz! Bless your hearts. You sound like such a trooper of a mama and you will certainly be in our prayers. I know Anabelle will be just fine and it sounds like she is receiving wonderful care. Hang in there and know you are loved and supported!
