Call from Dr Guidroz

It seems we may be a little more concerned than originally expected. When I told Dr Guidroz about the amount of food Lydia has taken in so far today, she agreed that it was "horrible." She talked about cutting back IV fluids even more tomorrow to see if it will make her want to eat more. She didn't want to do it at night because she wouldn't be checking on her during the night. I pointed out to her that Lydia was even not eating well at home, without any fluids, so I'm not convinced that that will help at all. She agreed, but thought it might be worth a try...if the UTI starts to get better...the urine culture is showing a typical UTI that is very common- Rocephin should knock it out. She also wants to do some blood tests tomorrow. She said that these IV fluids will keep Lydia hydrated, but we can't let her go much longer without getting any nutrients. The blood tests will show how much protein is in her body...which will let us know how much longer we can go...I think that's what she said...? I told her that I want to talk to Dr Hollman again because I doubt that she expected her eating habits to change so drastically...dr Guidroz said for me to call Dr Hollman in the morning to find out...so that we'll know what to expect. Then, she also wants to consult with a GI dr...we may need to consider an alternative form of feeding if she doesn't pick up soon...feeding tube, etc. We'll either consult with Dr Alberty or with Dr Khoshoo over the phone. The blood tests should be first thing in the morning...I'll try to update again when I have more info. Thank you all so much for your continued prayers and support!!
