Good News
Calla's health really made the turn for the better last night and this morning. Last night she started having lime green colored poop when I would change her diaper and the nurses thought she might be getting rotavirus (I guess that sometimes goes hand in hand with RSV, I can't imagine it) and wanted me to just keep an eye on it. Well, I think it must have been the last of the toxins trying work their way out of her little body because today she is breathing better (no more collapsing of her chest when she breathes), her nose isn't as plugged up and she's starting to act like she used to! Yay!!!! So after the doctor was in this morning he said we'd probably go home tomorrow, he took her off the steroid that was keeping her airway open, reduced her breathing treatments to every 6 hours instead of every 4 hours, gave her a high powered dose of iv antibiotics this morning and then locked her iv out so that she could try and stay hydrated on mommy's milk instead of the saline, they plan on giving her one more iv antibiotic dose in the morning so we have some stuff to go home on and then probably repeat a chest xray tomorrow and go home in the afternoon. Please Lord let us be home by nap time tomorrow afternoon so I can lay down and take a nap with her. I'm so thankful to all of you who have been praying for her, she's definitely starting to get better!
