Hospital Stay #3 - Day #4

After a crabby morning, Lyla is doing better today. Her temperature looks good, and her stats are hanging in there. They did add an additional feeding tube through her nose so that her food could bypass her stomach and go directly into her duodenum to keep her from spitting up. She's susceptible to this due to her high-flow oxygen through her nasal cannula. So far she is doing well but oxygen had to be adjusted upward to keep her O2 saturation levels in the the 90's after a fit she threw when getting the line inserted. 

She's been through a lot of poking and prodding, and she'll let you know when she doesn't like it. A trait I admire in all our kids - I think it shows she'll have great determination to get what she wants out of life. 
Nurses: Erin (day); Amy (night)

Medications: Tylenol (fever); Digoxin (heart); Enoxaparin (heart); Furosemide (lasix); Zegerid (omeprazole antacid); Multivitamin (Poly-vi-sol); Spironolactone (aldactone); Heparin; Milrinone (heart).
