Hospital Update

Just a quick update.We've been here since Friday and she's doing well. Durring respitory therapy she coughed up a lot of "slime" w/ chunks. Since today she hasnt had much to get out, so were just hanging out. Her IV therapy is on a easy schedual this time. 3 times a day for one (6am/2pm/10pm) and 1 time a day for the other (9pm). And it onlly takes 20 min for them to infuse (except the 9pm one..it takes an hour). So I let the doctor decide when to let us out this time (ususlly we ask to be let go after 3 days) and today he said we'll go home Friday and then come back on Tuesday to be evaluated. She's inisolation (like all CF patients should be)..but it's not as bad as it sounds. She has to wear a mask when she leaves her room & she's not to be hanging around in the hall..(hey, no loitering kid!), or hanging w/ other CF patients, and no play room. Ok, it kinda sucks! But even when we leave the "floor" she keeps her mask on to protect her from all the germs. Right now we were on a walk,(eating a beef stick) and we stoped at the community computers. I lathered the key board & mouse w/ hand sanitizer. And when we're done we will go directly to the sanitizer on the wall. I don't seem any where to plug in my sd card to post some pictures. I think tomarrow I will ask for a laptop in our room for her to play with. So I JUST WANTED EVERYBODY TO KNOW THAT SHE'S DOING GREAT. We are just trying to get her as healthy as we can b4 fall gets here.
