Mouna's Update

Today was a rough day for Mouna. She was moved to ICU because of persistent high fever in range of 104 degrees F. She was subjected to battery of tests, regiment of antibiotics, CAT scans and heart exam. It seems that something that should have been removed from the uterus during the caesarian, was left behind and that might be causing the infection. The doctor's are not sure as of yet, but this seems to be a plausible theory. They are treating her with lots of antibiotics, hoping that this would cure the infection. Should the antibiotics not work, the doctors may have to operate on her again. Also, she has some water in her lungs which is causing some breathing problems. She is currently getting pure oxygen to help her breathe. The water in the lungs is byproduct of her body's effort to fight the infection. They are giving some diuretic to help remove the water, but this is a temporary solution. Baby Boy is doing good getting better and stronger by the day. He is breathing more on his own and using less support of the machines to help him breathe. He is in the NICU. Its been a long day. :(
