We had a very quiet weekend... Our big girls came up for a visit, and
Harper did nothing but sleep. There were no major changes with
anything, and she continued to do well aside from continuing with the
vomiting issues and the morphine withdrawal.
Then out of nowhere we received a middle of the night call from the
doctor- for reasons no one can explain Harper stopped breathing. She
had to re-intubated with a smaller breathing tube than before due to
extreme inflammation of her airways around her vocal chord area. She is
now on steroids for the swelling, and had to have another chest x-ray
(which was all clear). She is already requiring minimal oxygen support,
but we don't know yet how long she will have the new breathing tube.
They also did some lab work and had to give her a round of blood
products. They did another c/t scan to check her brain as that is
always a concern in her case, but (praise God!) it is still looking
good.
Prayers are appreciated as always as we accept another set-back (but
praising Him that they were able to save our girl again and that her
brain is continuing to heal)....
