here we go again

Real quick (because I need to go to bed) Sunday morning Allison went into respriratory distress and I took her WVMC. With an xray we could see hazy lungs and that shehad labored to breathe hard enough to suck her stomach up through her previously repaired diapragmatic hernia. I shortly thereafter found a blood in her stomach. They transferred her by ambulance to ICU at Doernbecher where they pumped her full of antibiotics, took blood and other fluids to do cultures and tests to rule out any other respiratory bugs...we are still waiting for all the results. I still say aspiration pneumonia because after 24 hours of some major antibiotics she is off oxygen and her vitals are stable. She is however still bleeding and going to get a more permanent IV call a PIC line. On Thursday the 2nd she will have an exploratory procedure to find out what's happening inside with the esophogus, hernia, stomach, bleeding and diaphragm...we will then make decisions from there. We are also left with coming up with a long term solution for better managing her airway so this doesn't happen again or continually reoccur. We don't know that answer yet.
