Last Night And This Morning

This is all three-steps-forward-and-two-steps-back stuff.  As I mentioned yesterday, Ainsleigh was doing really, really well at 8:00 Monday morning.  The nurse said that she'd had a little fever overnight Sunday, but she nonetheless looked good, was breathing easily, and took all of her breakfast in record time.  Then, through the day, she worsened somewhat.  By 5:00 yesterday afternoon, she was visibly struggling to breathe; in fact her breaths seemed more like panting than anything else.  She also refused to take any food, and squirmed uncomfortably the whole time I held her. 

I was pretty unhappy when I left her yesterday afternoon, but things have been looking up again since then.  At 8:00 last night she was back on supplemental oxygen and sound asleep, but her breathing was slow and regular and she seemed to be resting comfortably.  Then this morning she looked great again; she was more awake than ever, breathing easily without extra oxygen, and took every drop of her breakfast.  Though she sneezed a few times, she seems comfortable and happy today.  Once again, I'm hopeful that this will be a Good Day, and that tomorrow...will sort itself out when it gets here. 

One day at a time.
