So....what happened..??
To be honest, we are not really sure. When we brought Alessandra home after her cath she just didn't seem right. I know that she went through a lot and I never expected her to feel and act 100%. Monday night we felt uncomfortable because her cry was new and she wasn't eating as much so we brought her to the E.R. She fussed and cried non-stop from about 9:30 p.m. to about 2:30 a.m. My head of new grey hair can testify.
Finally, around 4:00 a.m. we were moved to the cardiac floor. She needed a dose of Versed to calm her enough to place an i.v. Blood was taken and tested for viruses and/or infection. Thankfully all samples have come back negative. She's not sick, but she's acting sick. She's ready for surgery. That is the only explanation we have right now.
We will remain in the hospital until she has her surgery and for the duration of recovery. We don't know when her surgery will be yet but my guess is that it will be early next week.
For now we sit here, watching her. Keeping her calm with toys and Bob Marley. She is on constant O2, but has thankfully grown accustomed to the tubes in her nose and the wires on her hands, feet and chest. This has done wonders for her demeanor. She's even starting to smile again. It's been days since I've seen her smiling gums so this makes me very happy :)
