The rash Meghan has is about the same no worse. Off all medications except medicine for C Diff. Kidneys are looking ok but doctors still want her on dialysis. White blood cell count is about the same still high but not much change. Infections have put off getting Meghan to stand but PT is still doing some exercises with her in her room and getting her sitting in a chair.

White blood cell count is more stable today although lactade is rising. They are thinking possible bowel infection, tested and positive for c-diff. She will be on antibiotics and limited visitors due to that being contagious.

White blood cell count was still a little high today. She did have two bowel movements. Meghan developed a rash which they think could be a reaction to a medication. Meghan is still mouthing she wants to go home. Drs want us to bring Meghan’s socks and sneakers to have her try and get standing by the end of the week
