Day 2

We know she has a lung infection. Period. It is like viral pneumonia but they have not specifically verified what kind and really don't have a lot of answers.   But they keep digging so I know they aren't satisfied with what we know at this point. 

We are waiting on a pulmonologisr and an ENT.  They have several other tests scheduled to get to the bottom of this.  For whatever reason they weren't able to do those tests yesterday.  

One moment she is giggling and acting normal.  The next minute she says her chest hurts and just wants to sit and color or be held.  I don't get a lot of questions answered yet but I guess that's better than them trying to answer questions they really don't have answers to yet. 

They are also going to reevaluate her heart murmur just because we are here.  There isn't any worry or fear regarding it, but it's been a few years since the cardiologist tracked it with an ultrasound and since she is here there is no reason not to. 

We are doing good but it's just unsettling to be here without many answers. Thanks for checking in on us.  Depending on which tests will actually happen today we may not be able to have many visitors - one test she will be put under for so there will be a lot of sleeping afterwards.  If you're planning on coming, please text me first.  Thanks for all of your support and prayers.

Update: 

Okay so big problems. 

The lung infection explained last night is not in any way what is wrong with her.  Apparently one of the nurses overheard the Dr group discussing it as an option and just wrote it down as gospel and passed it along to the night nurse as the reason she's here.  They have filed a committee meeting and disciplinary action to figure out how and why this could have happened and been passed along to me the way it was.  They are not happy.

But on the other hand we still don't have clear answers.  The Pulmonologist and ENT will be here today.  The GI Dr is out until Monday.... Yes Monday. 

She said If  between all of them they can decide she is stable enough to go home until Monday they may let her out.  If not she is here until Monday (worst case scenario). 

The reason is the amount of blood and the fact that she was anemic when she came in causes them concern over blood loss somewhere.
