he's been diagnosed with pneumonia, along with his r.s.v.
clark's currently on 4 liters of oxygen through a high-flow pump (bad news). he's getting three different antibiotics. breathing treatments (with albuterol) every two hours. the respiratory therapist has to pound on clark's tiny chest every six hours to loosen the congestion. clark can't breastfeed right now because he's having so much trouble breathing and so he has an i.v. of hydration fluids. he has wires and tubes running everywhere.
last night clark was so close to getting completely off the oxygen tube. i thought we'd be going home tomorrow.
on top of all the drama and tears that have gone on today regarding clark, my cat who already has been diagnosed with chronic kidney failure was sick today. husband had to take her to he vet. everytime she gets sick i wonder "will the vet tell us it's time to let her go?" fortunately the cat just had an infection this time. something we can fix.
i miss the older kids, i miss the cats. i'm sick, depressed, lonely, worried about clark, still trying to recover from childbirth. this sucks. i just want clark to get better so i can go home with my sweet little baby-man and have my whole family together again.
