We headed to Austin and she slept the entire way. It felt nice- just me driving a kid- instead of a sick kid.
Along with us we had to pack her feeding pump, medications, ice packs for the medications, and milk to drink.
Waiting in the lobby... It was cold this morning!
We arrived for labs on time-- the Prograf (anti-rejection) level is only accurate if drawn at 0830.
She was poked twice. Once in each arm. And yes, she cried, but that started when they put the tourniquet on.... She knows when it's coming....
Afterwards, all smiles as we went to see our GI specialist.
The office was delighted to see her.
During the visit her Dr felt like she was breathing rather quickly and she had some wheezing.
This along with the major congestion, runny nose, coughing, and sneezing.
He asked us to make an appointment with our general pediatrician today- or go to the er. (ya right)
The potassium level that was drawn came back really high. Most likely the blood had clotted.... So we went back for another round of needles. Got it in one try this time. Thank goodness!
I gave Rowan all of her many medicines, a bottle, and we were off.
She slept while I drove around for about 2hours.... I know gas is expensive, but to have her sleep and not be grumpy was very worth it. She woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed- assisted me in filling the car back up with gas- and we were off for her next appointment.
Bronchiolitis.
Rowan received a breathing treatment for the wheezing, but it didn't help.
Honestly, I've seen her so much worse, so I kinda felt like this was nothing- more frustrating and uncomfortable for her- but manageable.
The trip home was great too. Another small miracle.
Once home of course it was bouncer time:) and snack/dinner
Green beans- success!
Tired and worn out, but overall a great day!
Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
