Another Hospital moment for Joscel..


I can't believe it's been a month since I updated our blog. We've been very busy keeping up with a lot of stuff at home, specially our babies' health. And to mention that Joscel was rushed to ACH Emergency (again) last week. We noticed that she was breathing really fast, 60-70 breaths/minute and that means, she's really having a hard time breathing. They did a quick assessment on her and took her straight to a room. They gave her oxygen to help her breath and as expected, she was admitted. The doctors did an xray on her and the result showed exactly the same as the pneumonia she had last month. She recovered fast enough that they took her oxygen off the next day.
Since it's a recurring pneumonia, the doctors think that the first time Joscel had it, it didn't really go away after a month (they couldn't tell if that's true because they didn't do a follow-up xray on her). Learning from their mistake, their gonna do another xray in June. Then they'll know if it was for sure a pneumonia or it could be an obstruction in her lungs (hope not).
Because of these hospital experiences, I'm already traumatized. Whenever I notice Joscel's breathing becoming fast, I worry right away. I feel like I'm having the nervous breakdown I had when I was a kid. It's hard to control it but I just turn my hope and faith to God, and rest assured, He keeps me calm most of the time.
