McKenna has slowly started going backward again. Past couple days has been really tired, not interested in feedings, eating less, and zoning out quite a bit. She is pale and seems to be getting paler. And this afternoon she had two heart rate drops outside of feedings. Think it goes without saying that we are worried sick and truly at a loss as to what to do at this point. Doctors seem to pass everything off as being a preemie, but now that she is nearly three months old, or 3 weeks past her due date, it doesn't make sense that she keeps going backward. And if she truly is no longer having blood in her stools than she should not being needing more transfusions, right?
Tonight we are doing the SAT monitor to see if she is low on oxygen throughout the day, or during her feedings, which could cause the drops. As said before though, they have done these monitors on her a million times and we have yet to see her oxygen low.
Tomorrow the heart doctor is going to look her over and exam to see what they can find out due to the drops today. Then we will be meeting with the pediatrician in the afternoon for more blood work, weight check and overall examination because of the drops today. Of course our pediatrician is gone again tomorrow, so we will have to see one of her partners.
We are completely lost on what to do, how to help her, or what needs to be done for her to get better. Please pray for wisdom for us with the doctors, wisdom for the doctors, and for a miracle for our baby girl!
