To the PICU?

Happy Friday! And what a beautiful day it was today! Once Joe got to the hospital I was able to get outside to read for a little while and enjoy some nice, warm fresh air. I only wish Olivia had been able to get outside and enjoy the day! Her oxygen needs have increased more again today. They continue with the breathing treatments that were started yesterday. At this point we are unsure if they are really helping or not. If they don't seem to be helping and her oxygen needs continue to increase, the plan to transfer her into the PICU. The reason for that is that they will want to put her on high flow in hopes that the higher pressure will help open the collapsed air sacs in the lungs. They aren't ready to transfer her yet, but I have a feeling that it's coming. At this point I would be surprised if we go home before Sunday. Aside from the increased oxygen need, Olivia has really been herself the past few days. She scoots around her crib, plays with her toys, interacts with the people who stop in to see, and puts up a good fight for the treatments that she doesn't care for. Continuing to see the spunk in her is a really good sign that things aren't too bad, and we hope things stay that way! We hope you all enjoy your weekend, and we'll be sure to update as we have more information!
