The Blog You Don't Want To Write

Ok...so that title has got you saying what!!!!???

lets reccap the last 13 days.  Klara came home as you know and things were going better than we expected.  She has been moving quite a bit more, suctioning her VERY little, and things were starting to normalize.  Life was what it should have been (minus the feeding pump, apnea monitor, and suctioning machine {but life's not perfect})

So what changed..well last night (wednesday) klara started showing signs of increased suctioning and a slight cough. All of that increased through the night, so we decided we needed to take her to the Dr.  He did not like what he was seeing and hearing, so we were sent to CHOP's ER. 

While sitting  in the ER, (the timespan of a couple of hours) we actually saw Klara get worse..her numbers were dropping and her color was fading.  REALLY...CAN;T SHE GET A BREAK.

They decided they wanted to admit her to the NICU.
So here I sit in CHOP's NICU East Room 72 - only 13 days and 2.5 hours from the time we left CHOP's NICU East ROOM 72.  That's right...they actually kicked the other baby out of this room and gave it back to Klara...i guess she's got some pull around here.

What we know so far is she has rhinovirus. (at least they found a cause for this).  And from what they tell use things get worse before they get better..how worse..dont know..but for a normal infant (under 3 months) it can get bad...for Klara...who the hell knows. 

I will do my best to keep you updated...its easier to find the time when im sitting in a NICU...as opposed to trying to keep Lily from stepping on Klara at home...

talk to you soon.
