After a FANTASTIC day on Saturday, Lauren went back to the PICU on Sunday. On Sat She spent the whole hour off the vent at the zoo. (no, she did not touch anything). Sunday She spent the whole day on continuous Albuterol. Saturday she spent a whole hour outside in the fresh air. Sunday she took an ambulance ride. Saturday we got her to weight bear and STAND on her feet! Sunday her heart rate was hitting 200.
They don't quite know if she's sick or just having lung troubles from the weather. She on a short course of steroids and as of yet no antibiotics are started.
As it sits now the doc wants her to be able to tolerate (ie no wheezing) every 4 hour ALbuterol. Right now, she's on every 3 hours. Prayers for a good night overnight because I can't wait to get her home. It's too quiet here. I wondered what that noise was last night...I was hearing the clock in the the family room...I had NO IDEA it made noise. Here's to a SAFE and HEALTHY homecoming tomorrow!
