I picked Lily up from school at 2:30 like I always do. I saw one of her teachers in the hall that told me that when she got Lily up from her nap she cried and didn't want to get up. This is pretty weird for Lily. Also that she didn't want snack, that she just wanted to play with her friends. Once again, odd. So I noticed as I was putting her in the car that she was rather pale looking. On the ride home I had to beg answers out of her for our typical ride home questions (how was school, what did you have for lunch, etc) if I didn't insist she just wouldn't answer me.
She was also saying off the wall things like she asked me to take her ponytail out. She didn't have a ponytail in. Things along that nature. And those of you who know Lily, you can vouch that she speaks very, very well. Yesterday she was not pronouncing her words well. She also had a bite mark on her wrist. She told me that she did it. She has never bit herself before. Like I said, just some really off the wall weird stuff.
Tracy tried in vain to reach the nurse at Dr. Victorio's office. He left a voicemail but we never got a return call (yeah, nice right? And yes Tracy did say on the vm what was going on. Guess they weren't concerned).
She finally did gain some color back and was acting better, not normal but better. So we just decided to keep an eye on her and see how the night went.
To start with her night was normal. She slept well, didn't move much and the pulse-ox was pretty stable. But then she started getting restless in her, pulse shot to 130 as oxygen dropped into the 70's but then she stabilized again quickly. We decided once again to wait it out but agreed if her oxygen dropped again we would call the Nuero on call. About ah hour later her oxygen dropped to 67 as well as doing some repetitive leg movements at the same time. So Tracy called and talked to him and he said to bring her in. We opted to have the Ambulance transport her in case she went into a full status. Now, Tracy went and stayed with CJ. So all I can really tell you is that Taz was once again the perfect gentlemen in the ambulance and at the hospital, they decided to admit Lily, she may have been having some absence seizures in the ambulance as Taz would get right up on her and sniff her mouth then she would stare off into space.
Anyway on to today. Today color is back, speech is back and Lily is acting normal. The Neuro on call is having an EEG done on her as we speak to see if there are some meds that we be better suited to put her on (yay! I am liking this guy!). I brought Taz home for a bit so he could eat, do doggy business, get a break and play with Isis till CJ gets home then we will go back up.
Also Taz would not leave Lily's side yesterday at all. Even in bed he often sleeps facing away from her but he stayed very close to her making sure that he had body contact. In the pic below you will see his paws are kind of bents over her leg. When I tried to move her leg off of him because I thought he was uncomfortable he gripped her leg with his paws so I couldn't move it. Best....dog....EVER!
