Yesterday, Rebekah and I got up @ 5 am to drive to the Hospital.
She is having her Patent Ductus Arterious plugged today.
We arrived at 6 am , signed in went to her assigned room.
By 7:45 they came to take her up stairs. They said it would take
about two hours because the Doctor couldn't really see how
big or small because her lungs were hiding it.
About 1 1/2 hours my beeper went off.. Everything went well,
she is in recovery and they will come get me in an hour or so to
be with her. They gave her unthickened pedalite after she woke up ?!
I am sure her file should read honey thick liquids and food.
When we went up from recovery Daddy was waiting
in the room. We fed her her seizure meds with thickened apple juice.
A little while later she vomited... So we waited a hour and tried to feed
her again. She held that down. Daddy had to leave to go pick the other
children up from school. Doctor said she should be ready to go home around 4.
At 4 I started feeding her dinner which she vomited.. uugg
The Doctor came in around 5:30 and suggested that we spend the night.
What a night.
The meds they gave Rebekah earlier were outdated. RN called down to the pharmacy
and they do not have any other meds for Rebekah. I do carry a couple extra in the diaper bag.
RN had to take my extras down to get the pharmacy to verify that it was the correct meds.
She picked up some thickened liquids. Around 9 pm we got fluids and meds into Rebekah.
She slept thru all diaper changes and stat updates. Her oxygen levels kept dropping.
But at 4 am my spunky little girl was ready to eat ! She was ready to be held without
all these wires hooked up to her.
When the doctor came in @ 9 he said "we'll get you out of here asap !!
Here she is ready to go home.
