Day 58: Another Infection

Last night when mom dad went home I had few big desats. And these were not self correcting. I.e. I was not able to get my breathe back on my own. I needed extra help to breathe. This was serious enough to transfer me back to intensive care unit. All the precautionary steps were taken. Lumber puncture, blood tests, stool tests, chest X-ray, abdomen X-ray everything. Although X-rays showed a minor cloud but others were negative. I was still put on anti-biotics as my infection markers were high. My feed gone back to zero.
Today when they came to see me. I was calm and resting. But in an hour I started to have another round of desats. Dad noticed the first one and immediately called the nurse, doctor was nearby as well. All hands were on me, I was resuscitated back to normal breathing. I was unsettled a lot. I kept crying continuously, which made mom upset as well. Nurse put me on my tummy to settle me. And then I had another one. Dad got the attentions of the doctors again and again I was helped back to breathing. If I had another, I was threatened to be sent to hot room. The threat worked and I didn't have another. But I continued to cry to get all the attention. Everything was being done to comfort me but all in vain. I must have cried for hours. I was crying since 2 O clock. Around four I was given calpol in case I was having pain but to no affect again. After some time dad had an idea and asked the nurse to tilt my bed. I was feeling well after that and settled. He was proud of his remedy. His remedy works fine only requirement is you need to have had paracetamol just before that, ha ha...
