Meredith: Keeper of the Sea

Rough Times

This morning Meredith was doing ok so they let Stephanie try and nurse her. She nursed for a short time and then Meredith was just too wore out. About this time her stats starting getting worse, they have been having trouble controlling her breathing rate, and they decided to do a CPAP. This is a thing that sticks in the nose and forces air down into the lungs. Well that really pissed Meredith off and her stats started getting even worse. They even had the intibation cart ready just in case she really went south. Finally they went back to giving oxygen via the nose (like you see on folks in the movies) and all settled down. Meredith will not get to try nursing again for at least 2 days.

The good news is that her lungs are sounding better - not great, but better.

    Our poor little angel and our poor mommy. I am so sorry for Stephanie...wish I could magic it all better for you all. You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. There is a brighter tomorrow...
