Meghan was up most of the night, still getting up some secretions. This afternoon they did decide to give Meghan a unit of blood not because she is bleeding but from being on TPN (iv nutrition). The blood will help with some proteins for Meghan. She still is getting dextrose in her bowels to wake them up. Doctors don’t plan on changing her trach at this time, they don’t want to downsize too quickly. The cultures they took yesterday came back positive for MRSA. She is being put on a new medication for that today. The drain is right where they took the culture of puss. So the nurses told Rob that with the new medication and drain right in that area it shouldn’t become a bigger issue.
