Bacteria in the bloodstream

I had a minute so I thought I would update really quick. Everything is starting to be a blur. Between no sleep Wednesday night from being in the ER, yesterday's events and then no sleep last night...I am really having a hard time remember details. I was going to post some pictures....but they won't download. Most of the pictures were taken by my mother-in-law. Looking back at them....I don't even remember being in them or them being taken. The only thing that got me through yesterday (and even today) is God giving me strength (and your prayers!). I am emotionally, mentally and physically drained. I should be sleeping right now, but I feel like someone is prying my eyes open.

Last night when I got in bed at 10:30, I realized that I had not gone to the bathroom ALL DAY LONG! I had not been since yesterday morning. And the funny thing is...I didn't even have to "go"! I made myself get up and go. I had a good laugh all by myself in the bathroom. :)

Kylie is doing ok. She's seems super happy one minute and then I can look at her and know she doesn't feel great. She still has some fever....but we actually got it to go away completely one time (which hasn't happened...she has had a constant fever for 3 days). I spoke with the doctor earlier. Basically we will be here until her blood is clear and clean. They found a bacteria in her bloodstream....now they are just doing more research to see what kind of bacteria it is and what will kill it. There are more possibities...but I won't even go there right now. It is hard for me to wrap my head around it all....we will take one day at a time. They came to draw more blood a while ago....not fun. Kylie does not have good veins at all...so it always takes several sticks before getting something. This will happen everyday until her blood is clean. She was worn out by all the fun and it didn't take long for her to go to sleep. Right now it is quiet and I am enjoying silence.

Rob has been a trooper with the other two. He has offered several times for me to go home and he will stay up here...but all of you mom's out there know that AIN'T happening! So sweet for him to offer....but like I am going to go home! He is going to bring Kole and Lex up here after she wakes up so they can see their sister (and mommy, too!).

I just have to say that it means so much to read your comments and know people are praying. I can feel those prayers and I know for a fact that that is the only thing giving me strength and energy to keep on going so I can take care of Ky. I appreciate all of your text messages, calls, emails....you don't know how much it means to me. Please know that they are very encouraging! I am so blessed and thankful for such awesome family and friends!! I love you, guys!
