Brynnah's Hospital Stay
Can you believe I'm actually updating my blog!?! I know it's been months and months since I last updated! I'm not going to try and catch up...I will just start from scratch! Most of you know that Little Miss Brynnah is currently at Primary Childrens. She got sick about 3 weeks ago with a cough. It started getting worse and worse...so I took her into the clinic every day for a week. The docs really couldn't find anything wrong with her. On that friday I told them I wanted her in the hospital because her oxygen levels were dropping and we don't have a way to check them at home. They admitted her and still couldn't find anything wrong. They ended up sending her to Primary's in an ambulance on sun. When we got here everything started getting worse. The doc's decided to put her in the ICU. The next day she continued to require more and more oxygen. They finally decided to put her on a ventillator(breathing machine). The regular ventillator wasn't enough for Bryn so they put her on an oscillator (a high frequency ventillator). We've been here for 2 weeks and haven't made a lot of progress. The doc's have been keeping her totally sedated and immobilized. I stay up here all the time and Ryan gets to come up on the weekends. I'm staying at the Ronald McDonald House and have met some really fantastic people. It's nice to have made some friends here that can be a support! Today they switched Bryn back to the regular ventillator...which to be honest I was really nervous about. But, she's doing well so far. They switched her about 12 noon today. If she's still doing well tomorrow they will start to let her be awake a little bit more! Which is really nice for me I haven't seen her beautiful eyes, or her smile, or heard her voice for over 2 weeks now! Thank you so much for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. We really appreciate all of you so much.
