Holding Course
Nothing new to report here. Olivia is still on high flow at a pressure of 7 liters and 50% oxygen. If they can wean the oxygen down to about 30% and have her maintain that, then they will start to wean the pressure. They have had her oxygen down to 40% a couple of times, but then needed to increase it again. It's a SLOW process! They are treating her with two IV antibiotics, an IV steroid, tamaflu, and albuterol. That is on top of her regular medications. She is definitely not herself. She wants to be held all the time, her voice is very hoarse, and she is just generally irritable and uncomfortable. We won't hear anything about the family conference until tomorrow, when all the doctors are back from the weekend. The on-call pulmonologist said that she agreed that it was about time for a meeting to discuss these issues. She thought we had tried about everything she could think of. I will definitely post once we have more information or there are any other changes.

I know how difficult this must be for you to watch Olivia be so sick again! I hope your meeting with all of the doctors at one time works out! I know you are one strong momma and you will not leave that meeting until you get all of the answers you need! Hang in there! I'm thinking of you guys!
Good luck with the meeting! Poor Olivia, I am thinking of her and hoping she feels better soon.
