A new day

Today has been a better day. Alyvia had a better night. She didn't code...so that's always nice. haha! She had a CT scan yesterday, and it looked great, there's no infection in her brain and the ventricles in her brain are not full of fluid anymore...so no more swelling in her brain!! (So she definitely won't be needing a shunt, which is so great!)
Her cultures are still pending, but so far nothing major has shown up. Her fever comes and goes, but it isn't as high. So I guess we'll keep waiting to see what the cultures show.
Alyvia's IV went bad last night (but it had lasted 3 days) and they found another vein...so we are in luck for now!

Megan,
I know people have been asking what they can do to help you guys... I just wanted everyone to know that there has been a donation account set up for Alyvia at Zion's bank... it is in your name(not hers, I didn't know her SSN), so any one can go into any Zions bank to make a donation to you girls! =-) Maybe you should put this on the front of your blog, I don't know if everyone reads the comments...
Love you!

Megan, Wow you are so good to keep up on your blog! I am working on ours tonight so you'll have to check the new stuff out.
Kace is doing okay, caught the flu yesterday so we thought maybe we'd be back in for dehydration, but he turned around suddenly; now is doing great! It's amazing how resilient they are.
He is starting to walk better with his "walker"... he keeps such a good spirit through it all.
Give Alyvia hugs for us, she is such an angel.
Keep in touch...
