So on Tuesday evening cardio called back and wanted us to start Lasix(?) to help her remove the fluid, the only pharmacy that has it in stock for kids is at PCMC, so I made a mad dash to get there before 7:00, I just barely made it. I gave her one dose and it didn't seem to do much, so yesterday we went back to the doc. She checked her over, had a chest x-ray, checked her weight, and then called cardio. They agreed that she should get two doses of Lasix a day and they wanted her blood gases checked. They only had lances for adult pokes and it put a huge hole in her finger, she wouldn't stop bleeding, it took 20 mins to stop. All in all her gases are great and she is now peeing up a storm. Today she seems to be feeling better, she wants to play. Her o2 needs are getting back to normal, she is staying at a 1/2 liter all day and night. I can only hope that this is a turning point and she will be over this soon.
She has reached a new milestone, she is pushing up on her arms while on her tummy, this is huge cause she does not have much upper body strength and this is helping her to build those muscle that will help her to one day sit up on her own!!!!

On a funny note, my neighbor wanted to play a April's Fool joke on me and borrowed a Home For Sale sign from her realtor friend so would think she was moving. Well the joke was really on her, the realtor got 2 calls on her house and the sign was only there a day. Ha Ha.
