Mia's Sick

It looks like Mia is going through another round of pneumonia. She started having symptoms over the weekend but over the last two days it has gotten progressively worse. They have had to raise her ventilator settings very high and they still aren't having much luck in controlling her CO2 and O2 levels. Rachael has been at the CRC all day, I came up to Sacramento for work this week. Unless things take a real turn for the worse I will stay here for the time being so Rachael will be dealing with this on her own.

Rachael and I have talked and we asked the CRC staff that unless absolutely necessary that they not take Mia to Good Sam's this time. Although she has received excellent care when she is there we always end up with a loss of continuity / familiarity with the nurses and RT people. At the CRC Mia is with people that are familiar with her and RT's that are just a couple of steps away at any given time. It will be Dr. Silvas call on this but we are praying that he will wait it out.

Finally, Michele and Joe are the nurse and RT respectively for Mia tonight. We are very happy to have them as they are excellent at what they do and they really care the best for Mia.

Thanks again for all of your prayers and support. If you want more updates please look at Rachael's facebook page. That is where she is posting updates as anything significant happens.
