Bree had a rough night last night. She spiked a fever that resisted Tylenol and after giving motrin it did go down. They had to start deep suctioning her because the nurse is hearing some rattling and wheezing in the bottom of one of her lungs. They increased her iv rate to help boost her output. If her fever doesn't go away they are going to run a panel to test for infections.

 On another note...14 days until Mr. Derrick makes his arrival into this world! 

 

Evening update:

She seems to be doing better tonight. They did end up doing a blood panel on her and they had to cath her to get a urine sample to check for a UTI. She is still on .5 of a liter of oxygen, but her sats only drop when she is sleeping. Since this afternoon she has been sitting up and playing for about an hour, and she would repeat things Adam would have her say, which is waaayyy better than yesterday. They were able to give her some pedialyte through her tube and she kept that down so they are going to try a slow rate drip of pediasure overnight tonight. Fingers crossed that it works out well! She hasn't really had anything to "eat" since Saturday. I think it will help her body recover so much faster if she can keep down some nutrition.

She is still coughing an awful lot, and requiring suctioning.
