I took Addy to her pediatrician after school today for a post-hospital visit. She told Addy that she wasn't supposed to get sick when she was out of town :) She didn't received the discharge summary from the hospital yet and wasn't too happy about it but we managed just fine. She checked Addy out and agreed that she has a ways to go before she is over the RSV and MPV. She didn't add any meds to her since these are viruses and she just needs to let them run their course. She did feel Addy has developed a yeast infection from all of the antibiotics she got last week. We are continuing O2 for at least a couple of more weeks since her lungs have really taken a beating. She is also consulting with Addy's pulmonologist to see if he wants to follow her again and decide when we should start trying to wean the O2. She stayed above 93 today on room air, yesterday she didn't. I'm going to hook her up to her pulse ox overnight in a couple of days. It's pretty doubtful she would need more than a liter at night since she was down to 1/4oth of a liter in the hospital.
Addy is really happy again tonight. She is practicing her signing by finger spelling her name with Rachel Coleman :) She LOVES singing the alphabet and watching her sign it is a stitch. Those little fingers really try to make all of the letters :) I'm so glad she is verbalizing again. She didn't in the hospital but I am so thankful that Addy has such a huge sign vocabulary since that is the only way she communicated with us last week :) I was actually so happy to hear Addy say "Jaaaaaake tooooooop!" (Jake stop!) She slept much better last night too. She is adjusting to a normal schedule again, it will probably take a week before she will go to bed on her own again. She got so used to mommy and daddy holding her all of the time!
