Addy's "snot" test and her bloodwork came back today. The only thing I found out is that she has Metapneumovirus. It's going to take her awhile to get over it :( She didn't have a great night last night but today was a good day. I got some smiles and giggles. She even showed some of her spunky little attitude that I've been missing!
I was able to keep her awake except for 2 minutes so hopefully she will sleep for Daddy tonight. I gave her a much needed bath this morning, she smells so much better! The nurse tried to lower her oxygen to 1/4 liter and she kept dropping below 90 like crazy so she had to go back up to 1/2 liter. The doctor didn't think she was ready to try to wean again but she thought she would just lower it a little, obviously that didn't work! So she will continue to be inpatient until she is off of O2. I would LOVE for her to get off of it because I'm about to go crazy with the major tongue protrusion we have going on. She will NOT put her tongue in her mouth! We haven't had this issue in years so I'm really dreading breaking this once we get home. I'm really hoping that once the cannula is out she will feel back to normal and close her mouth. Her tongue is getting a serious beating. It is so dry that it is cracking and peeling. It's really gross I tell ya!
We are probably looking at Sunday at the earliest. Scott is taking the night shift again and I will head up in the morning. I'd love to be able to walk her around the halls but everyone else on the floor appears to have respiratory stuff too so I think we'll just stay nice and confined in our ugly green room :)

Poor Addy! That is so frustrating! How are you getting her to keep the cannula in her nose? My worst nightmare is that Josie would get sick and require a cannula again. She would yank it out at lightning speed! And an IV?! She's not messing with that either? God bless her! Prayiing for Addy!
ummm...good lord. good LORD with that tongue. Between her tongue and biggie's eyeball our children would make a carnival act. get BETTER little a. hospitals are no fun. not one little bit.
hang in there, momma. thinking of you! xoxoxo
Oh my word, that sweet little tongue.
Prayers for getting out of there quickly and dare I say, I see a smile emerging. Ever so subtle, but it is there!
