Still coming with the good news...I'll let you know more today as I learn it....
This morning: Crystal made it through the night on her back with 40% oxygen and sats in the 90s. She's a trooper!
This afternoon: Crystal has been moved back into a regular hospital bed and is still doing better today. They have said once she can sit up on her own they'll let her see and hold Audriara.
Final edit to this blog today. I just got back from the hospital where our girls are both doing better.
Crystal had a couple bad moments while I was there but seemed to settle down after a short bit. Dr. Shapiro was there and ordered a chest xray....it showed improvement from this morning's xray. So he determined the compression therapy actually loosened up the gunk in her left lung and momentarily caused her a bit of problems. It seemed like she stabilized once they suctioned her out. She was alert and tried to talk to me the whole time I was there. And get this...Nurse Giselle turned the TV on to give her something to do or listen to....there was song playing and Crystal bobbed her head back and forth a bit as if dancing to the music. It was great to see her personality coming through. She still asked if she was getting better, asked about Audriara....I should say mouthed it because she still cannot speak around the respirator. Hopefully, and keep your fingers crossed, she'll get that removed in a couple of days. It depends on how well she does weaning down off the oxygen and the respirator breathing for her. Dr. Shapiro had both fingers crossed on each hand and hopes that she continues to do well. Everyone there is rooting for her too!
Audriara is still doing well. She has grown to a whopping 3 lbs and 11 oz. I watched her get a bath and she was totally alert. She's really starting to change each day. I told Crystal about the 60+ pictures I have taken for her. Her eyes widened.
All in all this was a pretty good day. I hope we keep having better ones here on out.
Keep praying and thanking God for the miracles we have received!
Thank you and God Bless!
