Turns out Lucia's little lungs did not like the fresh mountain, high altitude, thin air. We planned on spending the rest of the week in Vail but Tuesday we had a change of plans. Lucia had several desats, trouble breathing with congestion and coughing from about 1am-9am on Tuesday. We called her pulmonologist, Margarita (she rocks!) around 3am and she advised us to up her O2 to 1/2 liter but at 9AM she was still struggling so we took her to Vail Valley Medical Center. Another round of wires, some tests and examination and turns out little Lu has a touch of pneumonia. We are safe and sound in Denver now and will give her meds to make her feel better.
Hopefully we are out of the weeds and the meds will kick this stinky pneumonia's ass. It was a rough day of no sleep and high stress BUT today, Wednesday, we are feeling much better and Lu appears to be feeling better already too.
Home sweet home.
The dogs were happy to see little Lu...

Hi Juliet,
Just sat down to my computer to "catch up" on the world...I've thought about you all soooo much and wanted to reach out a while back! Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! Her pictures are so sweet, all of them!!! Beyond all the chaos and challenges you are facing, lies a little miracle that has been put in your life to show you things that are BEYOND ourselves! I have seen through the blog so much love and joy that she has brought to you and is quite inspiring! I'm keeping up on this blog and visit everyday to get an update on little Lu! Give her a big sloppy, sappy, Southern kiss from her NC fan! Take god care, Gail
