little raegan came down with a high fever on tuesday. i thought it was an early ear infection...but when i cleaned out her ears, there was no pus (she has tubes, so an infection is quickly noticeable). i made it home after midnight, so made her an appointment on wednesday for today.

anyway, she has viral pneumonia, and she's uber sick. having a hard time keeping her fever below 103. left lung isn't inflating all the way, both lungs are infected...but her pulse ox was good, so she's not in the hospital.

i have to give her albuterol at four puffs every two to four hours. they put her on antibiotics on the slim chance that it's bacterial.

anyway...i had to take a medical leave of absence from my job today...and i'm looking at my baby who with her strength issues can't even walk right now. she just lies there.

Oh that poor little baby. You know she will be in my thoughts and prayers.
I'll ask the big guy to take it from her and give it to me.

You know I mean it.

I pray for the healing of raegan's lungs, may her fever and pain leave her body.
I pray for you also, for your emotional comfort.

thanks, guys.

i was shocked when they said it...she's had several chest x-rays, she often sounds congested when it's just fluid pooled at her esophagus, as she has dysphagia and aspirates...it's never been positive before.

she's down a full pound (from 30 to 29) and she won't eat or drink. i have a cut-off...if she goes more than eight hours without urination, then i take her back in, or if her oxygen levels dip.
