Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Hello everyone. Maddie was admitted to the hospital on Friday afternoon after fighting a virus all week-(Lowgrade fever, awful cough.) She was lethargic and had a co2 level of 60, enlarged heart and partial collapsed lung. We tried her on a bi-pap to get her breathing, but her co2 level continued to rise to 123 until they intubated her on Saturday night. She is in the Pediatric ICU. She seems to be doing better now that her breathing is being assisted, but her chest x-ray isn't clear enough for them to feel comfortable about removing the tube. I know the power of prayer is strong in this group- please pray for strength for her to get well quickly. I will keep you all updated as often as I can. I've had little to no sleep this past week, I am exhausted and still somewhat in disbelief. I have never been so frightened in my life as I have been these last few days.
