Mira's last hospital stay was so short and boring that I didn't have time to post about it before she got home! Friday she was coughing pretty hard, but all of her readings were good. Saturday, however, her oxygen sats were dropping lower than is really okay, so we took another pre-planned trip to the ER (oh, is that a wonderful arrangement! We call Gillette and talk with the nurses there; they tell us if they think we should go to the ER, and if so, we tell them what time we think we'll get there, and they give the ER a heads up so there's no waiting, and no guessing - just right to work on the issue at hand.) She was not "admitted" but stayed two nights under "observation." They gave her a little bit of blow-by oxygen the first day, and upped some of her variable medications (mostly nebulized ones for opening airways) and then sent her home yesterday/Monday!
Very nice.
There's a couple from our church who love to cook (and are very good at it!) who periodically approach me with two options for dates and two or three menu options, and we settle on one and put it on the calendar usually weeks in advance. Once again, it's such a confirmation of God's care for us even in the little details. That was a crazy day - with Matt and I meeting with clients for over two hours in the morning, then Matt running Bobbi to therapy, and after returning home going right to the hospital to pick up Mira. And I knew ahead of time that dinner was totally covered.
These reminders are so good as we look ahead. I'm working on a post looking at what's coming up this year. Phew.
