NOT what I expected

January 5, 2013 1 Comment

This has to be a quicky blog … before I get back to the hospital.

Amanda hasn’t been feeling well and this morning she was not well at all.  When we checked her oxygen level with the pulse oximeter we have, she was satting way down in the 60’s and her breathing was rough and raspy – like she was drowning.  Yeah.  Off to the ER we went.

Definitely looks like pneumonia (again) but I guess we caught it early.  They hooked her up to a round of strong antibiotics and gave her a breathing treatment.  We have to spend the night but good chance of coming home tomorrow.

Not what I expected.

Have you read “Amanda, Perfectly Made”?  Yeah – ya know that dragon I wrote about.  Darn if he didn’t swoop low and catch us off-guard.
