Since Friday, Kelsey's breathing and congestion just kept getting worst and worst. Sunday we couldn't keep up oxygen SAT's up so we took her to the hospital, again. She started out on the 8 floor (Cardio floor). When we first got to her room we had a couple of nurse and a doctor and a student doctor and within 20 mins Kelsey had a room full of people checking on her. They had a hard time getting her SAT's up also. The suctioning wasn't working and they tried to do the deep suction and something was blocking that also. They did an x-ray and her left lung was full of something, her heart was now looking enlarged and they checked her blood gases and they were very high. So, Kelsey was moved to the Cardiac ICU on the 3rd floor. They tested her to see if she has any type of infection becuase her white blood count was high and to see if she might have pneumonia. They put her on CPAP first to see if they would help her breathing and get her gases down but thought they might have to put her on a ventilator.
Big praise this morning the CPAP worked so she didn't have to be put on the ventilator but they haven't let us know what they are going to do next. Andy's been waiting all morning up there do see what they are going to do. He did hear the heart surgerical team when they were doing rounds, say this would be a very compliated heart surgery. They wanted to try and do a liver biopsy this week, so we're waiting to see if they still want to to that. And if so, if they can do it subcutaneously or do they have to do the surgical biopsy. Please pray for wisdom for us and Kelsey's doctors.
This is all I have time for thanks for your prayers for Kelsey and us.
