Hooray!!! After 72 hours, the cultures are still showing negative which means no infection. It really is a miracle. I mean, a tube running from her brain to her stomach was exposed. Exposed to the air. Exposed to the germ-filled air. People, she had a hole in her head. Are you understanding the risk??? And yet, no germs got in. The doctors are amazed. I always knew our little girl was miraculous and now I've got proof.
We're home now but head back for an appointment tomorrow which will likely be an all day event. I'm pretty sure she'll need a blood transfusion as her levels were borderline today. Regardless, a night in our own beds will do all of us some good.
Praise God for miracles!

Wow - what a week! I'm so glad that her infection tests are negative - and that hole in her head didn't cause any more problems.
And may the magnesium levels increase!

Lori,
I just spent my lunch hour reading from the start all your blogs. I just heard about Lillian and was shocked and sad but once I read your blogs I was inspired by your courage and strength. Lillian is a fighter and my prayers are with you.
