Jalyn's Cheer Team Updates

02/06/2022
Today has had it’s fair share of ups and downs - sorry in advance for the information overload.
Surgery didn’t go as well as planned, but all is working out to be ok this far. They didn’t find as much infection inside the previous incision as we thought they would. However, they were able to find and repair the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leak. They think the pressure created by her vomiting yesterday caused a weak spot from the previous surgery to reopen and in turn start to leak. Unfortunately while they were repairing the leak she lost a lot of blood so had to have a blood transfusion. Because this repaired area is already weakened, she will remain sedated and on the ventilator until at least tomorrow to keep her still and give it a chance to start healing.
They also had to put another CVD (drain tube for CSF) in to help drain any excess CSF in hopes of preventing any increased amount of fluid in her brain. She is scheduled for a head CT early tomorrow morning to make sure her ventricles aren’t refilling with CSF and are draining properly. If all looks well, we hope to let her wake up and extubate her tomorrow.
The CSF that they tested showed to have an excessive amount of white blood cells, which indicates the infection is in her CSF. On a happy note, all of her labs that were elevated yesterday have come down significantly and she was without a fever for most of the day. This is reassuring that the antibiotics she’s on are doing their job.
Tomorrow is a new day - one that we hope brings good news and a smile from our girl. Thank you for the prayers and support! Please keep them coming as she has several big days ahead of her yet. Regardless of the rough patch, we still love today.

Jalyn started throwing up this morning, spiked a temp, and started having significant drainage from the surgical site on the back of her head. We went with our gut and took her to the Sanford ER in Sioux Falls. Her labs and symptoms determined that she has some sort of bacterial infection. She’s back in the PICU and has started two strong antibiotics to hopefully kill off whatever bug is causing this bump in the road. They did a head CT which was stable with some improvement noted from the last one on 1/27. They also did an ECHO of her heart and ran a lab that checks for sepsis - both were reassuring that we hopefully caught this nasty bug early. All good news that we needed to hear!
As of now, she is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow morning to clean out the wound and do a lumbar puncture to check for infection in her spinal fluid. We will continue to wait for blood and wound cultures and hope that these antibiotics start doing their job soon.

Please continue to pray for her comfort and healing, as well as those providing care to her.
