We took Annie back in today to see if there is anything more that we can do to make things more comfortable for her. She is wheezing so badly that the doctor was surprised her O2 rates were as high as they were (97%). Apparently, he was not up to speed on Feisty Annie's toughness and the pact that we have to keep her out of the hospital!
I think a fair summary is that we are surprised she is struggling this long when she has the boost of synagis in her system. We're not entirely sure what to do so we are doubling up on the steroids and asthma medicine while changing her antibiotics.
On a nicer note, the awesome people I work with threw a wonderful shower for Annie on Thursday. Sadly, she slept through it but it was so lovely to again feel all that support for Annie and our family from my friends and colleagues. In lieu of gifts, we asked people to contribute to Annie's fund at the March of Dimes (http://www.marchofdimes.com/prematurity/b.asp?band_id=44620). I'm so happy to say that some much needed funds were raised in Annie's honor. Thanks so much, everyone!
We owe everyone some photos which I will try to post in the next day. While we have been very concerned about Annie we had a very happy halloween and some wonderful times together as a family that we would like to share with everyone!
