It has been less than a month since Gabrielle finished her last round of Augmentin and she has been placed on another antibiotic. This time we are trying Bactrim. Both the bacteria that she has cultured in the past are susceptible to the Bactrim. Hopefully, if she has other bacteria that she has not cultured it will also be susceptible to the Bactrim. She will be on this antibiotic for 14 days. If it does not work or if she gets sick again within a short period of time it most likely means another hospital stay.
In addition to the Bactrim we are also increasing her respiratory therapy. We will be doing her chest percussions 3-4 times per day for 20 minutes each time. She will also get Albuteral prior to the chest percussions each time. She will also receive an extra nebulizer of Pulmozyme each day.
While at the clinic today Gabrielle was weighed and measured. She is currently 32.25 inches tall which is in the 38th percentile. She weighs 29 lbs 2 oz which is in the 89th percentile. We are praising God that her height and weigh are extremely good!!!
