HOME

After spending 8 days, 7 nights in the hospital my Addysen is HOME! Naturally I put her in the tub almost immediately once I got home from work :) She looks and smells so much better! Her cultures came back today and Addy did indeed have RSV on top of the MPV!!! No wonder she really wasn't getting any better! She went all day yesterday without oxygen but didn't make it through the night :( We were told that she'd have to be off O2 completely before coming home. Fortunately, her pulmonologist wanted her discharged as much as we did and sent her home! She will have to be on oxygen while she sleeps until she gets over all of this crud! I imagine it's still going to take her a couple of weeks. We will continue doing some CPT with the little thumper thing to help keep breaking up the pneumonia though. I am soo pleased to show you that now that her cannula is gone her mouth is closed! Thank goodness! That was making me crazy! She is going to be none to happy when the cannula goes back on at night but we'll have to make do! I'll put her tender grips (little stickers) on her face before she goes to sleep and Scott and I will tag team to get the cannula on her once she's asleep :) She's so sleep deprived I'll probably just try to put her to bed with it on, she really needs some sleep! She won't know what to do being able to sleep more than 30 minutes to an hour at a time! Hospitals are the worst place to try to sleep! She is sitting in her favorite chair watching all of the Play with Me Sesame she wants until we put her to bed :) She isn't walking anywhere yet but she is talking again :) How I've missed her sweet little voice! Thank you so much for all of the prayers for our little rockstar, we so appreciate it! Not too bad of a war wound! It helped that the IV went in the first time and she was numbed up!
