Hospital Trip UGH!! May 1st

Sorry I have not posted earlier on this topic, as I just really didn't know what I wanted to say about Emma's trip to the hospital. In the evening hours of May 1 Emma started having labored breathing. She is normally on no oxygen and I had to crank her up to 4 liters to get her to stay about he oxygen saturation the doctors wants her at (92). For those of you who don't know about oxygen and what not, 4 liters is a bunch for Emma. She usually gets about a half liter when she is sick and that is it. I called her doctor and he said that it would be a good idea to get a chest x-ray. We rode by ambulance (the easiest way to transport her) to Norman Regional hospital. They started an iv in her little forehead and did an xray. They discovered she had pneumonia. They started antibiotics and shipped us off to Children's hospital in Oklahoma City.

At Children's she continued on the antibiotics through her iv and she required no oxygen her entire stay! What a good girl. We stayed until the afternoon of May 4 and she was sent home on antibiotics I could put through her mickey button. (oral antibiotics)

She is now doing great, a few fevers here and there a week or so ago but doing much better. We went to her regular doctor and he said things look fine. She sees her monologist in early June.She was weighted at her doctor's visit and is now up to 27 lbs 14 oz despite the reduction in her feeding routine. Her nutritionist says we will continue to watch her over the next month or so to see if she evens out and if not make some small adjustments
