Monday Current mood: tired
Well, MJ gave us another scare yesterday. She had another episode in the afternoon where she dropped her heart rate, threw up, continued to drop her heart rate, became clammy, sweaty, extremely pale (not blue this time). They were going to reintubate her (put back on ventilator), but the doc that was there gave her more oxygen and watched her for a few minutes to see how she would do. She pulled herself out of it and after about 30 minutes she was back to herself. She was awake for over 7 hours straight after that. She is on a type of nasal cannula for oxygen that has a lot of condensation that builds up and it kept trickling down the back of her throat and waking her up when she would doze off.
I talked with Dr. Cabrera this morning and he said that they are going to stop feeding MJ for a few days to give her system a rest. In the mean time he is going to talk to his collegues and determine what tests to do. He wants to check her whole digestive system to see if there are any structural abnormalities and to see what course of action to take. Hmmm seems like I remember posting a blog about them needing to check her out completely......oh-well Dr. Cabrera is awesome and I thank God that MJ has such a knowledgable and compassionate physician. (if you want to see him look up Dr. Antonio Cabrera)
Well, I need to get back upstairs and see the little one. Hopefully I can catch a nap.....4 hours of sleep just wasn't enough last night and I feel like a mack truck has run over me, backed up and run over me 100 times
Continue to pray, THANK YOU
