It has been a difficult weekend for Kyra. She developed a high fever early Friday morning and tested positive to a bacterial infection. It was hard for Kyra to get comfortable on Friday. Her blood count is down again, which combined with the infection, tires Kyra out very quickly. Fortunately, Saturday the fever subsided and she started to play a little and even shared a few smiles. Today she has been sleeping most of the day. Kyra has had daily blood draws (thru her broviac) to determine whether the antibiotics have cleared the infection. The results should be available Monday. If the labs come back positive then it is likely that Kyra will need to have her central line replaced. Patients with a broviac are at a higher risk of infection and Kyra's immune system further increases her risks. She has had two previous infections. The first was successfully cleared without replacing the line and her second infection required line replacement. It is best to try to clear the infection without replacing the line, as the replacement requires surgery, which in itself has its own risks.
