Still at the hospital

Well, we are still at the hospital. Yesterday, Kaitlyn was doing really well but overnight she developed some nasal congestion. In a normal child this wouldn't really be a problem but with a child that has NPD, the lungs are a weak point and if the congestion moves into her chest, it could be a big problem for her. So far her fever is gone and her counts have maintained their levels, which are low but they haven't gotten any worse. The doctor wants to keep an eye on her congestion. The main concern is that if it does move into her chest, she could develop viral pneumonia or a secondary infection. So far it's just nasal congestion but they are keeping a close eye on it. She seems to want to nap more today so hopefully the rest will help her heal. Thanks for the continued prayers for our sweet girl.
