Kayla back in the CCU
Kayla went up to a normal ward on Thursday.................. we hoped the recovery could now begin..............................however,
Had a call at 7am this morning. Kayla had developed breathing difficulties and has had to be emergency admitted back into the CCU!!!!
Her heart rate was over 140 beats per minute she had a high BP , her O2 saturation was low and she was feverish. She was gasping for breath and very distressed.
Once on the CCU she was stabilised, bloods taken and x-rayed. She had a partially collapsed lung and her white cells showed infection. she had a CPAP fitted (like a space helmet that gives you O2 at a higher pressure than our atmosphere) it looked sooooo strange!!!!! quite freaked me out Kayla looked tiny, paniced and grey inside it!
She then had a central line fitted without sedation and 3 types of antibiotics were started. Throughout the day she improved and stability was achieved to some extent but she is to unwell for a scan at this time
I will keep you all informed...........................

Hi guys,
I was so sorry to hear of this set back! It must be so frightening for you all.
I hope the anti-biotics kick in quickly and that Kayla is soon on the road to improvement.
As always - you know where I am if you need anything. My thoughts are with you all.
