We had a rough night for us but overall not awful. Addy is not getting enough fluid off so overnight her lungs got wet. We noticed her breathing last night before leaving for the night but we assumed it was pain, so she was given pain medicine, it turned out she needed a higher dose of diuretics. We have been holding her today and trying to get her comfortable enough to get some sleep. Luckily she has slept well.
We missed morning rounds by about five minutes but it didn't matter, all the doctors were upset that her swelling was missed so we have seen a LOT of them this morning. The surgeon is on call this weekend and has already been by a few times to check on her. He is frustrated that she will not be able to leave ICU until Monday, he had anticipated tomorrow, either one are a big deal to us.
The most important thay found the need to push her fluids fester.did they discovered it by her having difficulty breathing, appearance, not enough vouding, extra body ounces?
ReplyDeleteHer chest x-ray showed that her lungs were wet and one portion had collapsed :(
