The 25th

I don't like October 25th. My dad died six years ago today. I miss him soo sooo much. I was already dreading this day and it was worse than I imagined. My Addy is SICK! Yesterday at her 3 o'clock feeding at school she felt warm so the nurse took her temp and it was 101. On Monday we were at her ped for an injured foot (she sprained it, no idea how). She finished Zithromax on Sunday for a respiratory infection but her cough was still pretty bad. Her doc listened to her and said she sounded good but wanted us to continue with her nebs but add Pulmicort, so we did. I knew she really wasn't improving but I just had her checked out. When I got her yesterday I could tell she was NOT GOOD. I called the doctors office (knowing her ped is now in Hawaii/stinker!) but was hoping the on-call doc would call her something in. Nope, needs to be seen. Weeellll, that was what was supposed to happen. We went in this afternoon and her temp was 103.8 this morning and ran around 101/102 this afternoon. Her pulse ox was 89 this morning (yeah, NOT good). It has hovered around 93/94 this afternoon and evening. She is usually inpatient when it goes to 93 or below. The on-call doctor listened to her for quite awhile and said that she had good air movement on the right side but not at all on the left. Addy was coughing when the doc was looking in her throat and apparently she is coughing up some lovely yellow goo. Nice huh? We went to the hospital for x-rays and sure enough, my little princess has Multi-focal pneumonia. She has it in all four lobes! She is SICK! We went back to the ped and got two shots of Rocephin and another neb and pulse ox check. She was 94 so we were fortunately able to come home! Scott is in Seattle until tomorrow night, he's been working there since Sunday. Not a great time for Addy to go inpatient! I take her back in the morning to be monitored to see if the injections did anything for her. If not, in we go. If she's improving then she will get two more injections and sent home. PRAYING that is what happens! I am not loving having such a sick baby girl!
