So Adriana was admitted into Children's Hospital last night. Since last week on Friday I realized that she had this really ugly cough, it got worse over the weekend and the wheezing and rapid breathing also started. I took her to a Doct appo on Tuesday and they decided they would like to take an x-ray of her chest, so they did. I got a call later that day from the Dr's office, they told me that the tech that read the x-rays said that she was having heart failure, so the Dr though that she might just have sever bronchitis. We came to Children's later that day and they put her on some oxygen to help her not work as hard. They gave her a lot of breathing treatments which also helped her alot even though she really hated them. They also decided that they would need to put an IV in her, which I argued about. They don't need one, she has a central line and that is enough for her. They were not going to give her antibiotics anyways so why an IV, I told them that they had one shot to get it i, if not then that's it. So they did try once and they were able to get it in, they drew some blood and ran some test. All of her numbers came back just fine, nothing out of the ordinary which was very good. They said Adriana has bronchitis, they they felt like they should monitor her over night and see what happens. She did very well over night and did not need any oxygen. She has been doing fine since, I set up her tpn/omegaven last night and I will do it tonight as well. I would rather not have so many people mess with her line, I can do it all for her, well i have been doing it. The Dr told me she would have to stay one more night and if all goes well she will be discharged tomm. I hope she will because staying here is so boring and she is in isolation just in case. The Dr also told me that the pharmacy would have to inspect her omegaven to make sure it is appropriate for her to use. I told them it didn't matter what they though, that it was her lipid and it was prescribed to her from her GI doctor so if they had a problem with that to give her GI doctor a call. So they decided that she could use her omegaven here in the hospital. Well I will keep everyone updated I am going to go back upstairs with her since I left her alone and if she wakes up she will cry because she does not know where she is at. Also when you leave your baby alone in the room someone always comes in and decides they need to draw some of her blood. Why? I don't know they don't even need it. She has bronchitis not something alse.
