Amirah was admitted back into the NICU today.
On Saturday we had a quick trip to the ER. Her oxygen saturation was really low and she was having some trouble breathing. The ER was able to adjust her vent a little and basically sent her right back to the rehab.
This morning She was satting really low this morning (in the 70's) and was on 100% oxygen. Long story short after some up's and down's her heart rate dropped really low and after getting her stable they transferred her to the ER. The ER wanted to admit her to the PICU but since she just left the NICU last week and they are so familiar with her we transferred there instead.
While we were scared when she had her low sat's and brady episode we are doing ok. We know Amirah is getting the best care available and will get through this too.
She is NOT running a fever and is NOT acting sick. Her chest x-ray looks pretty good and her lungs are moving air. We aren't quite sure why she's having these episodes but they are running a bunch of test to see if she has a little something "growing" in there.
I don't have much else to say other than that we are EXTREMELY tired tonight. Send Amirah a little extra prayer tonight....Will update again soon.
