More of the same...

Last night around 7:00 pm - Conlee again took a turn for the worse. We fought it all night long - her air passages are so irritated that blood was pouring out of her nose and she was coughing it up. This might have been the worst thing so far.

Finally at 7:00 am this morning - she was put back on an iv (thank goodness they got it in the hand because they were discussing putting it in her head), flow was increased back to 5 and O2 is at 35%. These are the exact stats that we had on Tuesday morning. Bo and I joke that it's like Groundhog Day! Now that she's back up - she is resting comfortably.

The Attending just left and the only "bad" development is that she will need to be put on a feeding tube because she needs nourishment - and right now it is too hard for her to do anything other than breathe. They promise that it's not too invasive and that we can use breast milk to feed her. He is hopeful that she'll only need this for a day.

I tried again to get a feel for how long it may be but got nothing out of him. He said he's learned the hard way not to guesstimate and mentioned that he would have been wrong 5 times! So - more of the same - sit and wait. The blessing is that at least for now she is comfortable.
