So I'll begin with Sunday night....
Nurse C and I arrived at the ER around midnight. After finding pneumonia on Isaac's chest x-ray, they were going to admit him to peds intermediate, but Isaac decided to show his true colors by going into a deep sleep. He was up to 9 to 11 liters and he was still was desatting! That's when I told the ER doctor that he needed to be in the PICU....he agreed. It was a long night. I went to bed at 6 am Monday morning. Today he's on IV antibiotics and 100% oxygen. When he sleeps at night, he still needs bi-pap support. Yesterday when he napped he didn't need any bi-pap, but today he made things more interesting by dipping down to 82% on 100% oxygen (not so good), so he needed bi-pap during his nap today. The doctor has decided to keep him in the PICU until he no longer needs it. Yesterday he was not smiling at all. He was kind-of in the zone. Today he gave me a half smile. I'll take it! I brought his chair up and he was happy sitting up for awhile watching Baby Einstein. Laying in bed all day is no fun!! That's all I have to report for now.
Thank you so much for your nice comments and prayers! They are so very appreciated!
