day 12

January 16, 2013 4 Comments

Good Morning Wyandotte.

We had a quiet night. Amanda slept in ’til 8am. Her CO2 took a huge climb this morning – not good – and we don’t know why. They are going to re-draw her blood with the hopes that it was a bad sample or test. She is her usual chatty self and when they ask her, “Are you short of breath? Does your chest hurt? Are you feeling okay?” she keeps answering them that she feels fine. The respiratory therapist is scratching her head and can’t understand why she is retaining so much CO2.

Ted crashed last night and slept real well at home in bed. Amanda has been stable for the past day or two and his fatigue caught up with him. He was on the road early for a sales trip to Butler, PA. We’ve spoken several times already and he’s doing fine. I worry about him with driving and fatigue so pray for him, please, for alert driving.

That’s the status quo for the day. Of course, I’ll keep you updated.

Hey – it’s me! just Laurel. I am just a 50-something year old mom who lives in southeastern Michigan. Married forever to the love of my life, Ted. We are just like any other family with kids out there: working hard and doing our best to raise great kids and to live as decent, moral people.
