Deja Vu....

Well, unfortunately, I'm here again to report that Reagan is back in the hospital.  Our time back home was short-lived but long enough to enjoy a snow day with Nolan & of course the Super Bowl.
Monday afternoon Reagan began vomiting and looking weak and pale again.  When I put her on the pulsox her oxygen levels were 78-79 so I immediately put oxygen on her but had to put her on 2L to get her levels above 90.  She had goosebumps up and own her arms and had labored shallow breathing.  Upon arriving in the ER Monday afternoon, she had 102.3 temp.  She got a chest xray which I've heard looked worse than the one last week.  Not sure if the oral antibiotics at home weren't strong enough or if she caught something else.  They did however get an i.v. started with i.v. fluids, because she also had not wanted anything to eat Monday, as well as another round of the i.v. antibiotic Rocephin. Late last night, once we finally got moved to a room in the Intermediate Care Unit (IMC), she had perked up and began eating a little jello and drinking small sips of juice. We finally got to bed about 1am and Reagan slept in until 11am this morning.. much needed rest, I'm sure.  It's 1:15pm and I am over checking into our room at Ronald McDonald House.  Even though Reagan is sick, there are so many kids much sicker than she so the doctors have actually not even rounded on her yet so I'm not sure what the plan of action is this time.  We totally are fine with waiting as Reagan has been that baby before that needed "all hands on deck" in emergent situations so we sit and wait our turn.  I will update as I know more.  For now, she is feeling and acting much better.  Sitting up, eating, coloring and asking to go outside and jump.  Unfortunately though, her lungs sound like a washing machine full of mucus and junk that needs clearing out & she's still requiring 2 L of oxygen.  She is getting breathing treatments every 4 hrs. with the vest.  We are hoping this time it will knock all of that junk loose so she can get over this.  Next week, Reagan will turn 4 yrs. old-- such a miraculous feat indeed and we are anxious to be able to get home and celebrate it the right way instead of in the hospital!
Thank you all again for your support and prayers & thank you to Aunt Kay, MiMi & PawPaw, Miss Katie and Mrs. Debra for helping out with both my babies.  It takes a village and I couldn't do it without all of you!
