The test finally came back from UCSD with the antibiotic that will kill the bacteria, it is Rocephin two times a day through her PICC line. I have just finished giving the morning dose.. Having issues with her PICC line, so we might have to make a trip into Children's today to have another one placed.
But milestones are happening. Lex was able to get up on her crutches and get a shower. Her pain is being controlled which is the greatest gift to me. I hate having her in pain and not being able to give her anymore meds. So this is the best of all three surgeries that she is comfortable.
Lots of angels at work, helping make our holiday brighter..The Dalton's gave us an early X-mas gift, Thank you to the Reilly's, we had a great visit and Vince looks so good. He is having his leg ...

We made it home, but a list full of question marks. She is sleeping in her hospital bed in the living room, kitty's at her feet. Today a package was brought to her from my cousins in Rhode Island, Dan & Karen... It was a box full of Kitty things and a nice letter... She enjoyed it within her few moments of not sleeping.... This is driving me Crazier, emphases on the ER... We pray to get Lex to the hyperbaric chamber this coming week and that the specialist for prosthesis infection can help her.
I was trained to give her antibiotics through her PICC line, this will just keep it all at bay, no real solution...
This is a beyond frustrating time. Our Christmas tree sits in its bucket outside, it had so much promise before surgery. Maybe tomorrow, lights & decorations??? Always taking each day as it happens.... That is ... >> full...

Stuck in Children's Hospital, getting sick of this place after TWO YEARS. But we FINALLY recieved the information as to WHY the prosthesis is not staying attached to the bone. INFECTION, still collecting info, gathering info and very pissed off.
Yaya got a PICC line placed yesterday so her antibiotics can go in twice a day, with an unknown end date at this time.... To keep typing is just creating more anger for what my daughter has had to endure... But after being tortured yesterday, she is smiling and looks beautiful in her braids...... She has a new best friend, Vic.... Please add Vic to your prayer list, he is 9 and was hit by a car in Sept.... They bring eachother much joy.
It is hard to leave Alexis and get to a computer... It is constant care and a constant stream of doctors.
Also pray Dr Pong, Yaszay ... >> full...

Alexis' pain is next to none ( which is a first for this surgery), she had a very long time in the operating room and then slept until about noon today. She is finally smiling (like always) and chatting. Exhausted from this process, but doing better so far.. More bone was removed and now the constant prays for the bone to grow into this prosthesis. Sorry for the delay, it has been non-stop and unable to get to a computer.
I will update soon!
