Day 5: A new doctor came to visit us

The hematology oncology doctor came in today, because her platelets are low and her white blood cells are elevated. They're not sure where the infection is, so they've cultured her urine, blood, and sputum. The only place they found bacteria was in her urine. We're still worried about her fingers and toes, they look pretty bad. The septic shock combined with the vasosuppressors apparently doesn't mean good things for your extremities. 

Slowly moving forward and making baby steps. We get excited every time the doctors mention something out in the future.
