Admitted

So you all know lilia likes to cause havoc on holidays.....well she was admitted into hospital last thursday and will probabaly still be there on family day.

it all started with the stomach bug we all had, however ours lasted 24 hours and Lilia's lasted 10 days and counting....finally on the 10th day we took her to ped (again we had taken her in a week ago as well) who took one look at her and told us to take her to the hosptial. She has lost 2-3 lbs, was now coughing something fierce, spiking fevers off and on, was very pale.

So we took her to the ER and her sats were 92...not too bad, but not as good as normal. the chest x ray (which she is an old pro at) showed pnemonia on both the left and the right lung. So she was admitted.

Lukily she doesnt need 02, however she does have an IV in for the IV antibiotics. which right now is a broad spectrum one.

they did do blood cultures (which is growing something) and a nose swab (which showed she has a cold...so shes stuck in isolation) but we wont be allowed out untill they know what the blood culture is growing. So that sucks. Shes very cranky being stuck there, even starfall.com is starting to bore her.

they did start her feeds back up, and she made it through 3 of them without puking. but then she puked up the 4th one. So they ran her 8pm feed over 2 hours (instead of 1) and we are keeping our fingers crossed. If she pukes again they will have to call the doctors.

anyways so now that we have net in the room, I will try and keep her blog up to date on whats going on. which hopefully wont be too much more.
