Hospital Update!

Its been a while since I posted, we've just been too busy! Theres good news and not-so-good news. The good news.....Chloe has been discharged! She was in the hospital for about a week and needing oxygen on and off. After she wasn't needing oxygen for at least 24 hrs she was cleared to go home. The bad news is she is still sick! Still congested, coughing and throwing up. Chloe tested positive for a cold and has been sick for over 2 weeks now. We are using Vicks vaporizer, keeping her warm, and venting her more often but nothing seems to help. We even lowered the rate of food going into her (more time on the tube at a lower rate) but she's still throwing up the same amount so its not a feeding issue. We talked to Chloes Cardiologist and he said cardiac babies get sick very often and stay sick for a long time. After her repair she shouldn't stay sick as long and won't need oxygen when sick though. So this means the full repair has been pushed back again. The goal is for her to have her full heart repair beginning of December now. As long as she doesn't get sick.
