Yet Another Cold

Izzy had started to eat and we were hopeful that she would gain enough weight to stave off the G-tube (feeding tube placed directly in the belly). That still may be, but Izzy started getting sick again Saturday night and by Sunday was very congested and had a fever. We got the fever under control and because we had the Xoponex still at the house from the last time (1.5 weeks ago), we have kept her airways open, so she still ate 21 ounces yesterday. Luckily, we have the oxygen and pulse ox now in case it is needed as well. We are just waiting for new leads for the pulse ox since she is allergic to the ones they brought us. So, once again, we are on the edge of our seats waiting to see if McKenzie can make it through a cold without being hospitalized. She hasn't done it yet, but I'm hopeful!

We will send lots of positive vibes Izzy's way to keep her out of the hospital while she fights off this cold. Go Izzy!!
