Today is a good day

Arianna did great last night. She was satting in the low 90's so I decided to keep the oxygen off. I didn't even monitor her through the night cause she was doing so well.

I ended up having a "blonde" moment while jumping up to check on Arianna this morning and fell right off the bed, my hips broke the fall, then my head slammed into the wall. I can laugh about it now but it hurt SO bad. Poor Arianna was just sitting in my bed looking at me like I was crazy. So now I have the worst headache all day and my back isn't feeling so good.

Arianna on the other hand is doing great today. She is playing, eating, and getting on my nerves. Oh wait....probably shouldn't say that....LOL! No seriously, she is doing amazing. She's satting in the mid-to-low 90's and doesn't have a fever. We will keep the Albuterol going all day.

I did get a phone call from her pediatrician first thing this morning, along with an email from her. She got my email this morning and felt horrible that she didn't get to me until this morning. She told me I probably did the best thing buy keeping her home and NOT going into the ER. We are to keep the Albuterol going throughout the day and spot check her saturations all day. Since I was concerned about the heart rate last night I asked when should I be concerned. She said if Arianna's heart rate with a fever is higher than 190 or with out a fever at 170 to take her in the ER immediatly. Her heart rate is about 120-135 today so we're doing good. She also told me she will give me her personal pager number and home number tomorrow when I see her. She knows I would never abuse the privilage of having that and knows how cautious I am about taking Arianna into the hospital. Isn't she the greatest?!?! I guess tomorrows appointment is to make sure she doesn't have pneuomia or any underlining issues.

I'll update from that when we get home.
