16th of November

7.37pm Friday evening. I think the antibiotics are kicking in slowly, but she is definitely more alert today. As her mycoplastma levels were so high, I think it will take longer than normal for these very small bacteria to disappear. Normally, this can be very difficult anyway, but for Jaana it will be even more so. However though, she shook her head definitely for the first time in a while so I hope this is the sign I have been waiting for. Drinking is still slow, but is picking up. The last 3-4 days, she has been managing around 900ml which is fine.
A friend of Jaana's highlighted the need for probiotics as the antibiotics is killing all the good bacteria as well. I have received some information about this, and will order some highly concentrated bifidus for her to take with her food. This will make it easier for her to defend herself from new infections and improve digestion.
I will report tomorrow midday and hope that in the next days to come, I will be able to relay some happy news.
