Summer

Loving the summer!

ER visit

After a stressful naptime yesterday (me listening to the cranked up monitor for any sign of coughing, choking, gagging…) I decided it was best to go in and have Lilli looked at. The little trooper did so well and only freaked out for a bit with putting on the O2 sensor and during her X-ray.


Her O2 was a bit low for her “current normal” at 72-78% so I knew something was up. The X-ray looked great (for her) but did show a small amount of something in her lower left lung. It could be pneumonia, an infection, or the start of something up with her heart/bronchitis. BUT we got to go HOME, which is always great news. She is now on a high dose of antibiotics and a steroid for 5 days.

Let’s hope it’s just a little “bug” and it’s outta there ASAP!

Coughing!

UGGG Lilli has starting coughing! She has been a little extra “grunty” for a few days, but last night the cough started… which TOTALLY FREAKS mommy out. I checked her oxygen today and she was crying cus she didn’t want to put it on (guess she has gotten used to “normal” life) and it was 67%! It went up to 80-82% when she was calm, but still a bit low for her.


I called the U of MN and they said to watch her like a hawk, do her vest three times a day, and get into the ER if I think anything is going on. She did cough right after I took off the monitor (of course) and her lips got a little blue :(

I think for now there is a really good chance she can “clear it” on her own…. But I’m rushing down there if I think for a second she can’t. With the last “cast” she was coughing like crazy for a day or so before it came out.

She is such a precious little angel and those eyes of hers just melt me. Please pray that this is nothing and we can stay home and have a fun family weekend!
