Rough Night

Ada had a hard time last night; she took her bottle, but threw up twice. She just couldn't get comfortable. She would come close to settling down, only to wake again in pain and thrashing. We think maybe the Lortab didn't agree with her stomach. The nurses came in around 4 AM and her blood had a high PH level so they thought maybe she would go back to the PICU. The next blood had a higher PH so they kept her and we are using ibuprofen for pain control. She just isn't comfortable but she is resting. We just got back from an ultrasound; her arm is mottled and they wanted to check for clots; they found none. Things are looking up, the ibuprofen is working better and they are taking her chest tube out here in a few minutes.
