I HATE Roller coasters!

I HATE roller coasters, always have....but would fake it when I was younger to go with friends and then sometimes with Steve when he was old enough to ride, but didn't want to go without his mom and dad.

Life seems to be like a roller coaster for us.  I had held off writing that post on Selah until a whole week and then some had gone by.  Well....last night she started having issues!  She usually goes to sleep by 9 pm but she was wide awake and had to poop, several times.  That kept her awake.  She was also sneezing and needing suction which she usually doesn't.  She finally fell asleep for a few hours but she is "off".  No fever but she a bit red looking which usually means something is up.  She is needing more suctioning and she is sneezing and her eyes are all glassy and watery.  She doesn't have allergies that we've ever noticed so we are hoping it's just a bit of a cold.  We have an appointment to go see our pediatrician this afternoon so hopefully he will put her on something that will stop this from going into a trach infection. 

Her heart rate has been up in the 90's and the night nurse said it went as high as 120 for a short time.  She got all her meds this morning including the Valium and I think she is going to sleep until it is time to go to the doctor. 

We really do NOT want her back in the hospital!  Please pray that whatever is going on is nothing big and we can handle it at home.  She has been doing so wonderfully amazing....we don't want to lose our progress!

Thank you!
