Day 2 11/16/21

Well last night was an interesting way to start the stay. Her oxygen dipped down into the 70's while she was sleeping (seems to be her thing after anesthesia now) so we hooked her CPAP up to oxygen and it went up and stayed up. Then her blood pressure dropped dramatically. We tried a couple different things but it just stayed low so the doctor order a bolus and in the meantime the Doctor was thinking hard and fast to figure out what to do to get it up, finally after about 30 minutes the bolus brought things up a little, at least into the "safer" zone. Little by little it came up and finally stayed up the rest of the night. We were finally able to get to bed at 1 a.m.

Today has been slow, which is good. She is still in an anesthesia fog. Doesn't want to eat or drink and just blankly watches her cartoons on the TV. 

She fell asleep around 2 this afternoon and has been sleeping soundly ever since. Kind of expecting her to just sleep through the rest of the night and hopefully this will get her out of her fog and she'll be happier tomorrow. 

Meanwhile Jeff and I just sit here and try not to go stir crazy. We ended up buying a Google cast to hook up to the hospital TV so that we can watch Netflix and Disney+ and everything and not have to watch the same Nickelodeon and Disney shows over and over 😂. Saving our sanity a little. 

Hopefully we'll be able to get out of here Friday. Depending on what her cultures show on Thursday we will be going home either with a PICC line to administer IV antibiotics at home or on oral antibiotics. We so hope for the oral. 

Thank you to everyone who has offered to help and/or sent her gifts or brought us food. It means a lot to us.
