A Discouraging Doctor Report

Today we had a different doctor come in to check on Katie. Since it's a holiday, it was the doctor who was on call. We were really hopeful to have a 2nd opinion and maybe he would see her numbers doing ok and order the nurses to try to reduce her oxygen a little quicker. No such luck!

He's going to do another chest x-ray today and based on what he sees there he might start her on another medicine. He looked a little discouraged too at her slow progress and said it will probably be at least 4 more days before we're out of ICU and able to go home.

That's Monday! Andy has to be back at work Monday so he's going to have to go back to Dallas Sunday while Katie and I stay here in Louisiana. I hate that he won't be here and know he will be so worried in Dallas while his baby girl is still so sick way over here in Louisiana. :(

I wish they could at least transport her to Dallas so we could be there with Andy.
