Well our little miss Allie is still in the hospital. We are now shooting leave on Thursday (12th). They have been trying to wean her off of the oxygen, but have not been successful. She cannot keep her oxygen saturation levels high enough. Her Dr decided to take a more aggressive approach and start her on a steroid to help clear this up. Kids with RSV are typically treated with a steroid, but he was trying to be as conservative as possible. She is so young and he didn't want to be too aggressive. He wanted to see her fight this on her own as much as possible.
Tomorrow (11th) we are having a chest x-ray done to be sure that her lungs are clear.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. This has been a much longer journey than we anticipated and it is exhausting. Grammy and Papa are extending their stay just so that we dont have to worry about Lexi during this time. Grammy has been taking the night shifts at the hospital so that I can try to catch up on my sleep.
We'll keep you posted.
