Today is a much better day for Kyra. So far her labs are still negative. She was all smiles today, laughing and playing. Still a little tired but overall we are seeing Kyra's sweet dispositon again. Tomorrow there will be another blood draw to be safe in determining whether or not to replace her line. The bacteria has been identified as gram negative klebsiella pneumoniae (gut bug). Given Kyra's condition, her gut serves as a primary reservoir for bacteria. We are very fortunate that she is responding so well. Again, I cannot say enough about Kyra's care. Their quick response to this infection is just one more example of the amazing work they perform. Thank you NICU, GI, and ID Staff!
