Most quantum error correcting codes are predicated on the assumption that there exists a reservoir of qubits in the state $\ket{0}$, which can be used as ancilla qubits to prepare multi-qubit logical states. In this report, we examine the consequences of relaxing this assumption, and propose a method to increase the fidelity produced by a given code when the ancilla qubits are initialized in mixed states, using the same number of qubits, at most doubling the number of gates. The procedure implemented consists of altering the encoding operator to include the inverse of the unitary operation used to correct detected errors after decoding. This augmentation will be especially useful in quantum computing architectures that do not possess projective measurement, such as solid state NMRQIP.
