Yesterday's escape attempt thwarted -- she made it out of the blanket-pod, but not out of the incubator's closed doors -- today Sara set her mind to disassembling the oxygen-intake equipment in her continuing struggle for freedom and independence.
She's on three different antibiotics until the bacteria found in her bloodstream is identified. In addition, according to yesterday's spinal tap, high white blood cell count in the spinal fluid MAY be evidence of spinal meningitis, though no bacteria was identified there. She's on meds for that condition as well, though civilians remain skeptical that the bacteria entered the spinal column.

What a fabulous photo! And she certainly does seem to have a goal in mind about those *&%^# tubes and lines! Someday soon, Sara, they WILL be gone and you will finally be free of them! Now, take a nap so you can gain some more weight. %^)

I totally know what you mean about the lines... my first two were in the NICU for a week each due to newborn infections and I was so excited when they were finally "cordless"!
