She had 2 weeks of dark green watery stools before admission that did not improve with loperamide. Her abdomen got more distended and she started having intermittent fevers of 100.4 F. She eventually had to be taken to ER where she was tachycardic in the 140-150 beats/min. CT’s abdomen showed pancolitis and her C. Diff was positive. She also was not very responsive and was admitted to the PICU where she was required to be placed on a mechanical ventilator due to altered mental status. Her chest X-ray showed a questionable right-sided infiltrate. CT head was done and negative. She was initially placed on Cefepime and Flagyl but changed to Vancomycin with improved stools. She was eventually weaned off the ventilator by 11/26/– to O2 via trach collar. Feeds were slowly reintroduced and she was transferred to the pediatric floor on 11/29/– but readmitted to PICU on 11/30/– after having respiratory failure and right lower lobe infiltrate. She remains in the PICU and ventilator. she tolerated 6 hours of sprinting off the ventilator yesterday and 3 hr today. She has become more interactive. Lipase was elevated worrisome for pancreatitis.
