Not so fun times - part 2

It turns out Allison's breathing was getting worse on Thursday and the doctor felt it best she go down to Texas Children's Hospital to be seen by the Specialists. After arriving at 4:30 pm that afternoon, we were placed in the emergency center waiting and hooked up to monitor oxygen levels. The nurses came in and suctioned her nose out. This may have been the worst part of the night seeing my baby scream in fear. This is also when we learned how strong she has become. After suctioning, we headed off to radiology for a chest x-ray. No pneumonia thank goodness.
We went back into our little room and by this time it was 930. Allison fell alseep  but her levels would end up dropping down to 84 and the doctor felt it best she stay overnight for oxygen requirements. After being admitted and getting settled she didn't go down  to sleep til about midnight. It was a rough night with nurses checking vitals and levels every so often but the next morning she had greatly improved and was free to be discharged! She still has a residual cough but it's good to know she is getting better!
