11.26.17 Sickness

Unfortunately, now we are all sick, Aimee included. Baby Walter is 6 days in to his sickness and is having the saddest coughing fits. Thankfully he is eating well. The older boys are on their 11th day, but showing improvement and regaining their appetite. Aimee’s heart rate went up a few days ago and she had been fussy. It wasn’t until yesterday that we knew for sure as she started getting gunky and needing extra cough assist, suctioning, and oxygen. Disappointing after our attempts to keep her healthy. Her body doesn’t need more to deal with right now! 

We will probably cancel one of her hospital trips for this week, but really do need to take her in tomorrow for her check in with the spine surgeon and some bloodwork. The cavity in her back seems to be worse after a week of filling it with fresh packing 2x a day. I’m nervous to try taking her out, since we won’t have oxygen or her bipap, but it feels like what we have to do. At least we’re headed to the right place if we run into trouble!!
