A Long Day!

Such a very long day for us today. As mentioned below in the previous blog, I had to take Lily to the ER. She was breathing rapidly and turning pale, was lethargic etc. But of course once we got there she was right as rain, as bright as sunshine, and as cute as a button. She made all the nurses ohhh and awwww over her.
So what was done today? X-ray, 12 lead(EKG), blood cultures. The X-ray came back hazy but nothing to worry over from what the Cardi said. The 12 lead looked great....and the blood cultures had a few abnormals such as a high white blood cell count, which didnt suprise any of us seeing she has the infection in her wrist.
When we got there she was screaming and trying to catch her breath but her color was great. They took us back immediatly and got her hooked up to the Pluse Ox and her 02 saturations were hanging in the 70's for a bit then started to climb back into the low 90's which are normal for her. Her heart rate was fine except for when her o2 sats dropped then it went up and that is when her heart goes into the arrythmia because of her Mitral valve, which we hope will correct its self once we start the beta blocker...Other then that she looked great. They didnt want to do another echo seeing she just had one in the office earlier this week. Once again, I hear the same thing, just watch her and wait!....so watch we will...and wait we have to....wait for what you ask...wait for anything bad to happen to show us signs of having to go back into surgery!

These pictures included are from the ER trip today! Such a cute little girl my princess is!
