7.19.21 Inpatient 22

Ed and Aimee are together at the hospital. I am home with the other 4. It is heart breaking either way. I hated leaving her there. Yet, it will be hard to leave the others to go back on Wednesday. If we could just bring her home to all be together again. This is SO hard. 

No progress on Aimee’s end of things. The team is consulting with GI about what next steps to take since the medication increase did not help and since the increase in output the past couple of days has caused her less pain. There is a possibility they may want to do a sedated middle GI scope. Or perhaps they will simply try another med increase. We will find out more this afternoon.

The team is also concerned about some of Aimee’s labs that she had come back yesterday and today. It seems that the numbers are showing her exhale to be less productive than it normally is, meaning she is retaining more carbon dioxide, ect. This has been an issue for quite some time and is why Aimee uses a bipap. Yet, they are concerned about it seemingly worsening. They will be doing a chest x-ray today and comparing it to the one done in the ED 3 weeks ago. 

In good news, Aimee is comfortable and happy again. Enjoying time with Dad.
