jayden

1 march 2012

just an update to those of you who haven't heard... i am up at the hospital with jayden. they admitted her yesterday with pneumonia and rsv. her fever was as high as 107.3 at one time and has been up and down. she is on oxygen quite a bit (took her off for the last 2 or 3 hours), an iv and the are giving her quite a bit of meds. she looks much better than yesterday, but they say she will probably still need to stay 'till sunday at least. thanks for the prayers everyone.

......   day 3    

i go from crying to rejoicing, to crying, to rejoicing.... jayden is doing much better. her lungs sound great! her fever has been down closer to 99 and she's going without oxygen. PTL!! now it's just getting her to eat and drink. she doesn't have much desire to do either one, but for breakfast this morning she ate 1/2 a banana, a bowl of grapes and 2 bites of my omelet. SUCH AN IMPROVEMENT!! they say if i feel comfortable enough with her and if she continues as she is, we may go home late tonight. pending on how she does the rest of the day. please pray.... both for her and her health, but also, for this mommy. i now have rsv myself, from being up here with her and i'm just exhausted emotionally and physically right now. i'm not sure i'm up to her going home yet, with me being her sole caretaker. please pray.
