Many of y’all have emailed or commented asking about any update on Olivia. And again, let me say how awesome y’all are to embrace our friends with your prayers and concern. Seriously, I’m amazed and so blessed.
I talked to Kristie this morning and they are still looking for answers. The infectious disease specialist didn’t really have any answers. The biggest problem, from what I can understand, is the bacteria cultures keep mutating so every time they think they have maybe figured out the strain of bacteria, it changes.
They are hoping these mutations will stop by this evening because it will have been almost 72 hours since they did the initial draw. The good news is that in spite of their inability to identify the bacteria, they do believe that one of the antibiotics they are giving her is working somewhat.
Hopefully they will know more by this evening or the morning. I will definitely keep updating as I get news. Right now it’s just a long road with not a lot of answers.
