Kya's Hospital Update - 5/15/2010



YESTERDAY -the staff here at the hospital was talking about going home and getting things shifted around to a do-able home routine. Phone calls were being made and home supplies being set-up to go when it was time.

TODAY- Kya coded again! Her heart stopped and the docs had to perform CPR and re-intubate her again. The concensus is that she has sooooo many lung secretions that she was literally unable to breathe through them and as most of us know if you can't breathe your heart won't beat. This is what we are dealing with right now. They are going to give her a broncoscopy and clean out her lungs at which point we will have a better idea of what we are going to do. The docs think that she should only be intubated a few days to get her through this rough patch.

Now Jonathan and I have to make some decisions to make about her future long-term care... I'll write more after we come up with our answers.

Thanks,
Jonathan & Laura
