Kasey was kicking some butt yesterday with her oxygen. She was down to .1 L. Last night, when Courtney and I left at about 7:30pm, we really all thought she would be coming home today.
Then at 5am someone came in to listen to her and thought she was wheezing. So they ordered a neb treatment. Around 6am Kasey was given Albuterol. (I am guessing on the spelling of that.) For some reason that caused her oxygen to plummet and they had to turn her all the way back up to 2L. That's quite a difference.
So, when I arrived at 9am, I was informed by her nurse that no Kasey could not go home yet. The pediatrician doing rounds that day changed her medicine a bit, and added some meds for her.
By this afternoon Kasey was doing really good! She was running around the halls with no oxygen on! It may be that we bring her home tomorrow, but she has to have oxygen at night while she sleeps. That's fine with us! She will be HOME!
She has started to have some visitors which has been nice. Papa came by and played with her for quite some time this morning. She really enjoyed that. Yesterday several people stopped by, and a few more today. We are so blessed with so many good friends and family!
The P's have been a huge help too. They kept Courtney yesterday for the day while I was at the hospital and while Hubby was at the office. I also dropped her off out there for a few hours this morning too. That has been very helpful for us to spend time with Kasey and not have to worry about trying to keep Courtney entertained as well.
Well, it's time for me to head back to the hospital!
