Today has been a very imformative day for Mary Grace. First, she had a rough night last night. Her oxygen dropped to 83% ( normally it should be 96% -100%) and her hear rate went to 151 beats per minute (normally it should be between 90-100). A respiratory therapist came in and gave Mary Grace oxygen for the rest of the night while she slept. Katie said that was not fun! At 5am this morning, Mary Grace's oxygen had gone back to about 98%, which is great. She had her second procedure at 9:30 this morning. This procedure went well and came back normal. The pulimary specialist came in after he read the second procedure results and meet with Katie and Joe. He basically told them that Mary Grace would not be allowed to go home until they get her oxygen and breathing stable and they get the test results back from the procedure yesterday. So, they will be residents of Children's Hospital for a few more nights. He also told them that he is waiting on the test results of the procedure from yesterday to confirm that Mary Grace is asperiating the acid into her lungs. He is expecting those results back tomorrow afternoon or Friday morning. The doctor is saying that he thinks they can control the asperiating with the right medication. Katie and Joe are doing well considering the stress of having a 1 year old baby in the hospital with an IV. Mary Grace is a little grumpy. Katie said the nurses gave her a sponge bath this afternoon and changed her pajamas. Please keep Mary Grace, Katie, and Joe in your prayers. Hopefully they will be able to come home by Friday. I will update as Katie gives me new information.
