Tuckered out girl with the silly grinned bear
Today, Avery was moved from the peds i.c.u. to the general care wing at the hospital. There's is progress for you. She has a lot of fluids in her upper respiratory area, she keeps wanting to cough to get it all out, but can't seem to get it out. Then she gets very upset, out of air and her oxygen saturation goes down. It was kind of scary, because she woke up, struggled for air, then not even a minute and her oxygen went down to 57 (not good). Then the nurse, aid and RT get patting on her lungs, get oxygen flowing at her, sit her up and suction the junk out. Two of her episodes were when I left, so I'm afraid to go.
...She just had another episode and I know something is wrong and I feel like taking her to the E.R. to get some action around here. I think she needs more experienced care. Now I'm waiting for the doctor and Avery has settled down for now. What to do?

My goodness, Renae. What an eventful week. I'm sorry things were/have been so stressful. She looks wonderful in the pictures in this post. You are amazing. Avery is very blessed to have such a fantastic mom.
