Mollie had a great night last night....10/31 7:30am<br /><br />Mollie had a great night last night. She endured the respiratory therapy at midnight, 4am and just now with no problems, and now can get the plunger all the way to the top of her incentive spirometer. Dr V just mentioned to me that he was encouraged by the sound of her lungs and that he thought she had turned a corner. It was nice to hear that.<br /><br />He also mentioned that she probably had the pneumonia all along, but without any white cells attacking the infection it didnt show up very well. Now that she is producing the white cells she should have a lot of congestion to expel by coughing, etc - so we will really focus on the breathing treatments and therapy. It is nice to have something tangible to concentrate on after days of relative uncertainty.<br /><br />Happy Halloween everyone!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920880307557460730.post-70811572778393466762009-10-31T01:10:08.371-04:002009-10-31T01:10:08.371-04:00Yay!

If you remember, I would love to see the video tour of her room, just the few pictures here look like she's really made a bat cave in there! Awesome awesome awesome (well, as awesome as it gets without getting to go home)! <br /><br />For the shots - I looked up why some shots hurt more than others (with respect to local anesthetic mind you, but it might be the same deal) and it was pH - the bigger the pH difference between you and the shot the more it would sting, even if you had a local to numb the skin (that only helps with the needle going in). They make shots to be a certain pH that matches most, but not all (and few are a perfect match). I swear that must be why anesthetic hurt me so much recently, I TOTALLY feel for Mollie in this, I hate shots and avoid them at all costs...silly I know, but man they hurt! I still remember my dad having to sit on me when I was about Mollies age to have 5 rabies shots when I got scratched by a cat.....yes....he physically had to sit on me and hold me down.....RGWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17859160779650601294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920880307557460730.post-48848123909108687642009-10-30T16:59:01.378-04:002009-10-30T16:59:01.378-04:00I love that Mollie got the princess wand!!!

I quite agree ...Oh your post sound so much better. I quite agree about hygiene--for adults as wellas for children. And the thing is, one feels so much better afterwards. The gentle physical touching is also very important to healing.<br /> Can you explain what makes the neupogen shot so awful--aside from the fact that it is a shot. I did read that it should be room temperature in order to avoid some of the stinging. Holding down a screaming child is one of the most awful things for a parent to do--even when it is for her own good.<br /> Mollie, you look fabulous--Happy Halloween!bsanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920880307557460730.post-39819007138170643092009-10-30T14:32:50.972-04:002009-10-30T14:32:50.972-04:00That bat costume is awesome!That bat costume is awesome!RGWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17859160779650601294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920880307557460730.post-42126240192139424842009-10-30T13:23:56.356-04:002009-10-30T13:23:56.356-04:00Mollie!
