So Nova is sick again. Its aweful, this time it's wheezing and a (very) low grade fever. Her o2 sats are still in the mid 90s so that's good thing. By when you mix the wheezing with the chronic barfing it makes for a rough day. Shes on her cool mist and we are administering lots of saline to help keep things loose, but it still keeps us worried. Hope fully once she clears out more mucus it will be okay.
This happened on one of the last really warm days we had as well. I can't help but wonder if there is a correlation. Or is she really just this susceptible to illness with her trache? Either way it makes for some long days, and longer nights.
And of course she gets sick the weekend we pick up her hearing aid. We haven't even put it on her once since we have been home because of this. But after her initial reaction in the audiologist office www have been a little apprehensive. She had a complete meltdown. Not that I can blame her. Can you imagine really starting to hear normal sounds for the first time? And in a strange place? So we want to gradually work her into wearing it, and we wanted to start in a familiar place for short
periods of time. And she gets sick that night. Awesome. I am going to put it on her later anyways, but i figured waiting until she felt a little better wouldn't hurt.
