Princess charlie has had many ups and downs recently - things got real scary yesterday morning. she's off feeds and back on oxygyen. bandgeek and her dh had a long meeting with the med people re: what to do for her. The med people told her that she might be ok but have delays, but they don't know for sure. she may or may not need a trach and feeding tube her whole life. again, they just don't know yet. the med people wanted to know what bandgeek and her dh wanted to do for her care. they decided they want princess charlie to have the care she needs to live. I can't even imagine the pain and heartache that they are going thru having to make such decisions.

the docs do seem hopeful that she'll be ok, though - just delays and she may or may not talk and walk but again it's just one of those things. some babies come thru and are typical in every way, others have some residual effects.

the docs are also still working on the seizure cause and the feedings as princess charlie is not tolerating food well and is going to be back on iv only feeds for a while.

bandgeek gave me the impression that charlie will be in hospital for a while. i keep hoping and praying that she'll be home soon.
