Rachel had a better day today....still going up and down with her O2 saturation....when I left this afternoon she was at 25% which is not very high.
They did do a chest x-ray and it looked a bit hazy and her lungs did not look as inflated as they did the last x-ray so the doctor did start her on diretix to help get some of the fluid out so she gets that every 12 hours. Because the diretix causes her to go potty more they are also giving her sodium chloride to help with keeping her sodium level and electorlyte levels up. Both are given during her feeds.
Her next sodium check will be Tuesday or Wednesday next week. They are also still waiting for her caffeine level results as well. If it is low they will up her amount that she gets.
She was resting comfortably when I left on her tummy of course! Here's to another good night for Rachel.
