Don't be so rash!

Interesting day. Beauty queen was extra colorful today. When she is worked up and uncomfortable, she will get pretty blotchy, but this was not that. This appeared while she was cozy and calm, and there was nothing touching her skin in these areas, so it's yet another little piece of the Kira puzzle. She is on a bunch of different meds, so it can be any one of them, or the virus, or none of those things at all. Parts of the rash went away, while new patches developed. It traveled to her arm, chest, tummy and thigh. ( Right side only, which is super odd). After a while, almost all of it was gone. Her airways are much more open today.. that terbutaline is a great drug! She came down from 25 liters of high flow oxygen to 18 liters. Seizures are doing their normal rebellious thing. They just do NOT want to be tamed when she is sick. As I told an RN tonight, I'm not sure why God made seizures or mosquitoes...those are two things we could reallllllly do without! So.. I spoke too soon, we have to turn her 02 flow back up, she's dropping her oxygen sats a bit. Darn you influenza! Here are a couple pics of my blushing beauty..
