It's been a long week. Aimee is still sick, though improving. She is getting more energy and she is smiling. We have needed more respiratory support than in the past though. Higher oxygen levels and less time that she can handle having just oxygen breaks off of bipap. She also needed more inhaler treatments and more cough assist. She had more difficulty with shallow, rapid breathing and a much higher heart rate than previous colds. Her lungs must be more compressed, more effected.
As she improves this week, my hope is to move toward a regular feeding schedule, to see less mucous production/reduce suction requirements, and to use less respiratory support.
This morning I caught this sweet moment when Caleb and Elliot snuggled into Aimee's bed while I was doing her morning cares.
All 3 laughing together. It was a rare and priceless moment.
