Today

This blog brought to you by me...from my phone

I will keep this relatively short to spare my thumbs the pain of texting on this phone. Last night, Cayleigh started having excessive 'letdown' from her nose. At times white and often just clear...but we are talking extreme amounts of suctioning needed. I would say way more than usual but then noone quite understand how often we have to suction her. How, we cannot even for a moment take Cayleigh further than arms reach of a suction bulb or suction machine. And not just any bulb..you can't buy the heafty ones we got from our numerous hospital stays at the store. Trust me..we have tried.

I guess I got off target for a second there...so there goes keeping this short and sweet. Her oxygen stayed pretty much between 88 and 94 all night long and heartrate was between 160 and 188 pretty consistently. It dipped lower here and there..and her O2 shot higher ...ahh just got a call from the charge nurse on the Pediatric unit. If this clears up how har d its been for her to breathe: cayleigh just got two treatments for breathing and isn't making any real changes. The doctors are in with her now and she is being moved to the icu. We are dropping julez off to my dad, along with the vehicle we drove up here, and are headed back. Prayers requested. Please keep her breathing in your prayers. Give her doctors wisdom and compassion.
