Pretty bumpy morning
Aria is worse today and we aren’t going anywhere. Â She had a rough night and poor girl could only sit bolt upright and couldn’t rest.
She is back on the Hi Flow O2 and it is up to 80% and 10 litres.  There was serious talk of intubating her at rounds and the Intensive Care team are back on the case after discharging her yesterday.
They decided to do a blood gas before any action and thankfully it came back normal. Â Everyone was quite relieved particularly us.
Her chest x ray today was really wet and she is almost weighing in at 20 kgs. Â So she has a lot of fluid on board which is the likely reason she is having such trouble breathing. Â She is a delicate flower is our Aria.
We are praying for lots of pee!! And to avoid the dreaded intubation until she can get some fluid off.  Her immune suppression drug is running a bit high and her kidneys don’t like it, so she is going to skip a dose this evening.
Thankfully now she is lying right back and actually sleeping, thank you Lord!
