Olivia is continuing to feel a little bit better every day! She has RSV and an ear infection. For the majority of the population RSV isn't too serious, Peter has it and wasn't really affected but for someone like Olivia, who already has reactive airway disease, the combination of the ear inection and the RSV caused some complications. Olivia received 2 doses of IV antibiotics for her ear infection as well as an oral antibiotic and some eardrops. We've also now have an inhaler in addition to her nebulizermeds. She'll be using the inhaler for the next few days then we'll transition back to the nebulizer meds. All in all it was pretty scary to ride with Olivia in the ambulance. The staff at Ochsner was great, it was nice that the team at Duke was only a phone call away (and call I did, but only twice). Apparently Olivia missed a visit fromt the entire New Orleans Saints Football team by 2 days. Mike would have loved that but I don't think that Olivia would have appreciated it.
In the ER, they put Olivia on oxygen but she hated having the tubes in her nose so they let her just chew on the tube. It worked!
Our welcome to the Ochsner Main Campus after the ambulance ride.
The next morning, starting to feel much better.
Just received the good news that we were going to be discharged!
Some Daddy cuddle time!
