Slowing Down!

Sorry for not posting earlier but our wonderful internet was having problems...again! Thanks for all your comments and concern for our little Sinny Girl, she is doing a lot better!

We had a few very rough days with Sydney, high fevers, coughing and throwing up everything, and everywhere, and lots of ear pain. She seems to be doing better and for the most part has her energy back. She has had a few episodes of turning blue but those seem to be coming father apart (thank goodness!)

Sydney was put on an antibiotic, which gave her almost instant diarrhea, on Wednesday I think I changed about 15 diarrhea diapers, the next day about 10! Our poor baby's little tush is so sore that she refuses to sit on it! She will instead sit on the side of her leg, lay down or stand up, anything not to have to sit directly on her sore bum. Each time she poops or pees she stops in her tracks and screams, each time I wipe her tush her little bum bleeds! It has been a long couple of days but she is done with her antibiotic so I hope that her bum will get better soon.

On a better note we rescheduled her appointment for Monday June 23(@8:00 in the morning! Yipee!)! I am so relieved that we didn't have to wait until August for a new appointment! I asked Sydney's doctor of a prescription for a pulse oximeter, so that we could keep better tabs on what is really happening to her when she has her episodes of turning blue. The first night that I put it on her, the pulse oximeter would alarm every 2-3 min, because her heart rate kept dropping below 80, usually when she sleeps her heart rate is around 98-99. I am not sure but I don't think that her heart rate should be going this low as she sleeps, her oxygen saturations stay in the mid 90's so I know that the machine is reading correctly. I havn't got to ask her doctor about what would be a normal sleeping heart rate for Sydney, but I plan on calling her on Monday to ask.

Everything else seems to be going great, I finally feel a little bit more like me and not so much like a dead mommy, so that by its self is a good thing! I will keep eveyone posted as to what I find out about her heart rate dropping. Thanks again for all the comments and concern they really help!
