So here we are, at the hospital again. Little miss was not able to keep her saturation up on a safe level of oxygen at home, so last night we were admitted to the hospital. At first there was a worry that it was a heart issue, but thank goodness it isn't. She has an upper respiratory infection (aka a cold). I'm not sure how long we will be at the hospital, unfortunately there is never a time line with a heart kiddo. We will be here as long as she is on increased amounts of oxygen and needing suction. With a heart healthy kid, they have more of a reserve. When they get sick they have a bit more in them to keep up. Darla Jane, however, is peaked at what she can give when she is healthy so any little bit of sickness takes it all out of her.
There isn't a whole lot more to report other than that, I will be sure to keep you all updated on her though.
Looks like we will be buying lots more hand sanitizer this winter. It is even making me contemplate home school...although the mental health of our household might be at risk then. :-)
So glad it's "just" a cold. Hope she can kick it soon!
ReplyDeleteboo for colds! Glad that is what it is though! Prayers for a quick recovering and a quick return home!
ReplyDeleteWe need to invent one of those detox chambers that everyone entering the house would have to walk through and get all germs zapped off of them.....nasty germs BOOO go away!
ReplyDeleteI've been contemplating home school too. I am trying to figure it out now before Andelyn turns 5. I hope Darla Jane gets better soon. Tell those fantastic nurses hello for me!
