Quick Update:
Our little critter is home once more. Doctors hesitantly released her to home care on Sunday evening. In her current condition, she should still be in the hospital. However, due to the high number of cases of RSV and other viruses currently in the hospital right now, the medical team deemed it wiser to send Addie home from the Intensive Care Unit instead of following protocol to rehabilitate on the Infant Floor.
She's on higher oxygen (2.5 vs. 0.75) need than when she went into the hospital, but since we felt comfortable attending to her at home, they released her to our care. We were also given a different O2 concentrator that will allow Addie to have higher home settings for now as her lungs continue to heal.
It's wonderful to have her back home. As you know, sleeping and resting in a hospital is nearly impossible for both babe and parents. Every two hours, the nurses come in to check blood pressure, listen to lungs, administer meds, etc. Then, with all the beeping machines in between, it is hard to sleep. Since arriving home,Addie has rested so well. She slept all of Monday, and Chris & Des each got a brief, but very much needed, nap too.
Thank you for continued prayers for us. They help more than you'll ever know,
Desi
