Day 4 in the PICU


We stopped in the morning, my mom was going to sit with her, while we went to work.
We hung around and listened into the doctors rounds, the newest x-ray indicated about the same amount of fluid around the right lung.
I stopped back in at lunch time, she was crying and seemed like she need to poop.
They give her a laxative (not by mouth).
They added a VapoTherm to her nasal tube today to add more moisture.
They took out some more IV pumps and lines, yea.
They have been bumping up her diuretics and Lasix.
She is looking better, although not responding to much, sleeping and when she wakes crying more.
After work we gave her MiraLax with 4ozs. of orange juice, it kicked in finally around 8:00PM with a monster blowout.
We hung around till 7:00 and took mom back to our house were dad was watching the other too.
They gave us the go ahead to bring in Nicole & Connor, which would help them understand.
