We have moved from PICU to a regular room! Chrissy has had a good day. She is off all sedation and has been awake and alert all day. She has even shared some smiles with me today! She is being weaned off the vent and hopefully by tomorrow she will be completely on room air.
She started her chest PT today with the Vest and seems to enjoy it. She smiled and fell asleep during the treatment. She is only needing minimal suctioning and has a strong cough, which is a good thing with a trach!
They have started trach training with me and I have already learned to bag her and to suction her. Tomorrow the "trach team" comes to discuss her case and all the supplies we will be needing.
So things are still looking good for Chrissy and I am happy tonight!
Stephen is feeling much better now that he is almost done with his Zithromax. Hopefully he won't relapse with the strep again! He is excited to return to school tomorrow.
Emily's eyes are looking much better now that she is a week out from her eye surgery. Most of the redness is gone and the swelling as well. She is supposed to wear an eye patch two hours a day, alternating eyes each day. But do you think it is easy to keep an eye patch on a three year old?? NOT!! Not sure how that is going to go!
Goodnight everyone!!
Welcome to the Mason Family Blog. Our story, our family, our happiness and our sorrows. Our journey through earthly life with all the joy and all the pain and all the faith and love needed until we return to Heavenly Father's loving arms....
"When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequalities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance." -Elder David A. Bedmar
Whoo hooo!!! Great news all around. Go Chrissy! :)
