Aloha everyone, new to the blog world but wanted to reach out to everyone and share Danielles updates. This is the first post of many and I will share with you the last couple days of Danielles treatment, soon I will begin posting some of the highlights from the beginning of her diagnosis.
Today, the 10th day of April was a very productive one for Danielle's lung infection. She was moved from the 2nd floor to the critical care unit on Saturday morning after the doctors had decided that her breathing had become too labored and oxygen levels were dangerously low. Once admitted to the CCU there were lots of blood tests, x-rays and tons of new medication to fight the fluid build up in her lungs. First she was on regular oxygen then an oxygen the contains controlled humidity and finaly a bypap which looks like a cross between headgear for braces and a painters breathing filter.....yikes! It was really scary for her to put on beccause it breathes for you so when you breathe in it forces more air into your lungs and when you breathe out it suck ALL the air out, when they first tried to put it on her she couldnt do it and it made me very sad to see her suffer like she was to work soo hard at breathing. Today we took it really slow and were able to get her used to it and its working great, we were just hours away from having to incubate her......PRAISE GOD we avoided that!
So its now 11pm and she is sleeping so peacefully, its the first peaceful sleep shes had in more than 3 weeks! We are so happy to hear of all the prayers that are going out for Danielles healing. I will post daily as long as time permits to keep everyone posted on her progress.
