Today is Lexie's birthday, and Torie gave her the second best present she could ask for...she's feeling better! Torie tolerated the IVIG overnight well, and she's getting another dose tonight. Her hemoglobin was 7.3 this morning, but her platelets dropped to 39. Her temperature was normal through the night, and she was on 1L of O2. The bronch went great. She was in recovery, extubated, about an hour after they started. They sent tons of stuff to culture, and only suctioned a small amount of secretions from her lungs. They reaccessed her MediPort while she was under, and she got platelets while she was in the OR. She felt really good this afternoon. She wanted lunch, read books, played with PlayDoh, had PT...she was busy!
She's sleeping now. She's on 1/2L of oxygen, and her respiratory rate is in the 50's. I'm hoping she can get off O2 tomorrow, and if she has no fevers, maybe get back to RMH on Friday. We are so grateful for your happy thoughts and prayers that got her through the last few days, and especially today, so well. Thank you so much for helping her...Vic-Torie!
Great report! Keep it, Miss Torie. Think Colorado. Uncle Eddy
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad to hear that Torie did real well with the bronch and that her O2 demand is significantly down. Hurray!
ReplyDeleteGrand Kid, you keep getting better and steps forward! I hope you get to go back to RMH real soon. Pet Jerry for me ok?
I love and miss you very much! Vic-Torie! Steps forward! Vic-Torie!
