Kelsey has the Rhinovirus (aka common cold)

They put Kelsey on a 10 day antibiotics because she tested positive for the Rhino virus. Although that's the common cold, for her with her heart condition it's very surious. They are still working on getting her left lung opened and she seems to be feeling better. She's very hungry because they've had her on IV fluids with no food since she was admitted. They are starting to feed her slowly but they are worried about giving her fluids with her lung collapsed. Right now they are planning to do a liver biopsy next week if Kelsey continues to get better. And then hopefully, we can start discussing heart surgery after that. It looks like Kelsey will be in the hospital for Christmas.

Keep praying for her to get over this virus and that her lung will open up, that the liver biopsy will go well and from those results, the heart surgeon will be willing to schedule the heart surgery. Praise her thyroid level is normal at the moment.

Thanks for checking on Kelsey!!!!
