It's a ghost town around here on the weekends compared to the hustle and bustle of the busy weekdays and looks like we'll be spending the weekend here. Alex continues to take steps back and the docs are a bit baffled with how to treat her illness. They know she has a viral component and she's being treated for pneumonia although it's inconclusive if that's contributing to this mess at all, but she's at high risk regardless.
"It's complicated" they tell us. Her treatments includes everything from oral steroids to chest physiotherapy (to help mobilize her secretions) to bronchodilators to suctioning to EzPAP treatments (positive pressure lung expansion therapy to help open her airways). We've been staying busy and Alex has been tolerating all her treatments. She's been happy and moving all around the room in her wheelchair.
Our medical team has been amazing and we are staying on the floor I work on so we are thankful for that. We know Alex is in good hands and we pray that she starts to get better this weekend so she can go home soon. Off to bed since we have such early mornings here.
