luvmychinkie | 12-17-2009 10:21 PM | Sorry for the delayed response. Things are just very stressful. My girl was supposed to come home today, but she had a huge relapse yesterday. I have been so upset with the doctors. I never gt an answer as to what she had. Yet she was being treated for so many things. First its severe anemia she gets 3 transfusions through out the week. Then the right side of her heart is enlarged so sometimes it doesn't work properly and cause fluid to build up around her chest cavity which has now been tapped 4 times. Then she has an infection. At first they wanted to relate it to her being post partum and say mestrisis, then the symptoms didn't fit, so they changed to pyometra. They sent out for culture 3 days ago and they yet have to receive an answer. Inthe mean time my girl was getting better little by little.. Then all of a sudden she finds it difficult to breathe so they put her on oxygen. This happen 3 times. To the point that they asked me yesterday if i wanted to resuscitate her and put her on a ventilator if anything happens. I was so freaked out. I saw her after that and she was alot better. I saw her today and she was so good. She loves when I go. All she wants to do is go home with me. Now they realize that maybe they have been taking her off oxygen too soon. So they decided to give her time in their until she feels better. They should have done this days ago. They still have no idea why she is accumulating fluid other than SIRS. She had a drain tube in her abdomen for fluids. They have cultered it several times a day and find it good. Everytging seems to be under control except for the accumulation of fluid in the chest cavity. THis hospital is supposed to be one of the best in NYC. I am paying ridiculously for this. Now Its hard to afford any extra days. I am in 10,00 in just 5 days. Yet they have no clue whats going on. It's ridiculous. I am hoping to get some answers tomorrow and see if its possible to transfer her to somewhere less expensive that can give her oxygen therapy. That way she can stay for a longer recovery. I'm so stressed. I wonder if anyone has gone through this. I can not bear for anything to happen to her .....I just can't...she's my baby, not my pet. She's my other daughter. |
