Numbers

Blake's numbers were bad again today. This RSV is just not letting go... Everyone seems to be doing well. Becky had to take a call from Chad so I didn't get much of an update. I should have something better tomorrow.

I just talked to Becky for a little bit. She said that Blake’s repertory numbers were up again last night, in the e 80’s which is pretty high. Becky said that she could tell that he had taken a step back yesterday. He was just not himself. They were testing his blood gasses. Becky said something about Blake having a difficult time with converting O2 from in his blood. Becky doesn’t see them going home tomorrow. Becky said that she was very grateful that dad has been there with her; otherwise she would have crashed by now. Yesterday was not a very good day for Becky. They had poor help, and then they got a bad neighbor. The kid next to them would not stop screaming and he had a different virus than Blake so Becky stayed on them until they put the kid in a different room. The screaming was so rough on Blake that he was covering his ears with his hands.

Becky is more charged up today. I guess with all the ups and downs you are going to have a bad day here and there. She is very grateful for all of the support everyone has shown and the love she has felt for her and her family.


Hopefully they will be able to talk to a Dr. today and get more answers so I can have a better update this afternoon
Just got this text from Becky:
-going 2 be here a while longer. sadly taking another bad turn and now back to extra oxygen and really high respiratory rates. doing lots of tests today too see what is going on or if they can do something to make it better. still not an ICU candidate just yet
