Anna Update – Day 13
We are hoping she will be able to go through the night tonight without oxygen! The respiratory therapist took her down to room air as of 2:00 today, and so far, so good!
No oxygen, no head bobbing, sleeping peacefully – she is looking great! |
That is such great news, since earlier that day her pediatric pulminologist had said that it would likely take them 2-3 days to get her weaned off of high-flow (pressure to deliver oxygen to her lungs) so that she could go home on just oxygen. Then he recommended she stay home from daycare for about a week after she is weaned off of oxygen – just to allow her time to get healthy and STAY healthy for a while.
In the PICU around day 7. Wrapped in a knitted blanket from Grandma Karen and a prayer shawl from Bethel. |
Trying to convince her to stop coughing – and to keep down her dinner! – late last week.
As you can see, she is definitely looking better now! |
I’ll recap my recent training soon – last week I managed 44 miles! Woot, woot!
I’ll also explain this picture :). |
Oh man, I can't even imagine. Hang in there mama. We all love you and your little family!!
She did it! A day without support! I am so excited to be home with her again! Also so excited to sleep in my own bed 🙂
