The nasal swab tests came back…all negative. RSV, Influenza A and B, paraInfluenza, blah blah blah. Not that being positive would have changed her course of treatment but now she can come out of isolation. She continues to get pep treatments (breathing treatments, like a nebulizer but much more intense). They are slowly weaning her off the O2. Hopefully today she will get to room air. She is so bored but at least she has her Spongebob to watch. She loves Spongebob!
They do chest x-rays in the early morning so we’ll see what the docs say about that. I didnt’ get to see it today. I have learned to read those pretty darn well. They are looking for the fluid that is around her heart and in her right lung. Hopefully the lasix has helped her get rid of some of that.
Overall, she is doing well. There is hope that she may be able to come home today. Yeah!
Thanks for all the support!
Love,
Teri

Hope keeps us all going, glad to hear things are getting better!
Glad Gabi is doing better! I am sure she can’t wait to get home to see her brothers and sister. Continued prayers for a speedy return home and for the staff at Children’s! I love your early post of her giving the staff dirty looks…she is really telling them how she feels about being back there.
Hi Teri – I just wanted to let you know we were thinking of you. I’m sure the feeling of being back is disappointing but Gabi’s in good hands as you know. Prayers coming your way! The Smiths.
Hey Danstroms. Sorry to hear about gabis latest stay at the hospital. Qe hopw it is a short stay and you are all home soon. Allour prayers. The langs
I’m sorry you guys are back there but I’m sure you are glad she is being watched and taking care of (I understand how scary that breathing is)…I hope the lasix takes care of any fluid issues quickly…it seemed to do the trick for Lydia’s effusions in the last two surgeries.
As always…I pray for Gabi and all of you daily!
Big heart hugs and lots of good thoughts your way……
Lisa
