As I continue recounting me and Jackie's journey from birth to the present, I will also post important stuff as they happen so that I won't forget the dates.
When I came home from work on Friday, my Mom had been with Jackie and told me that Jackie had slept all day and didn't seem herself. Jackie hadn't been feeling well for a while now, that damn congestion. It seems that every time that she gets close to her menstrual cycle she gets all congested, coughing and just feeling sick. Well anyways, on Friday night I had to keep getting up with her because her breathing wasn't right, she sounded all congested and her oxygen levels would go down, I would suction her to try to get her to cough, give her a breathing treatment and get her stable and after an hour or so she would start up again. Sometimes her oxygen level would go down really low and I started getting the feeling that I would have to take her to the hospital to make sure the pneumonia wasn't back, but of course I was by myself because the Hubby had to work lake, he didn't get home until almost 3 am.
The next morning I got up and started doing the usual routine with her but something in my mind get telling me that she was going to end up in the hospital again. Around 11 am we decided to take her to the ER to make sure nothing serious was happening and after waiting long hours in the ER the doctor finally said that the x-rays looked better than the ones from June but her white blood counts were very high. I told them that I could guaranty it that she has a UTI. They tested and she definitely did. So because the blood counts were so high and her blood pressure was so low they felt it was better for her to stay. Finally went into a room at 7 pm. Her Dad stayed with her the night and I came home around 8:30 or so, did a quick post on FB and then went to bed, was exhausted. To top it all, I got a new pair of glasses, wore them at work on Thursday and have been feeling sick with motion sickness symptoms since.
The good news of all this (I always have to find something good about all my setbacks in order to stay sane), is that her lungs are GOOD no fluid, that is my biggest fear that the fluid comes back and she will need to have tubes put in again.
Sunday morning I got a call that she is being send home today. Thank you GOD!
It’s great she’s back home.
