November 12th. Things aren't looking good. The nurse brings her in from the nursery for us and is concerned, and takes her back to see the Pediatrician. It was a good call on the nurse's part. The Doc has a look at her and is concerned and puts her on oxygen. After a few hours, the Doc at Beaumont Grosse Pointe decides this is more than she can handle at that hospital, and suggests to us to move her to a hospital with a NICU. So we pick Children's Hospital of Michigan. CHM sends their Panda One come and pick her up and transport her. We left immediately to join her. Upon arival at CHM we find her being examined by a team of specialists and resident doctors. They are doing and ECKO on her, looking at her heart. Her heart is fine, except for shunting. He white blood cell count is high. Possible infection. They don't know for sure what's wrong with her. They put 3 lines into her belly button/ambilical cord. Two are for IV's, one is a wire that goes into an artirery to her heart to monitor her blood pressure and heart rate. The put a tube in her mouth going down to her belly to relieve gas pressure. They take x-rays, all look good.
