At the beginning of Dec, Natalie went to the ER for a CAT scan thinking she had appendicitis. Before the night was over, she was in the PICU at Primary Childrens in repiratory distress. She had an allergic reaction to the Morphine and/or the CT Scan Contrasting dye and stopped breathing multiple times. The doctors came up with brilliant idea of using a CPAP machine to keep her breathing instead of intibating. She left the PICU after a day but stayed in the hospital for four more days trying to find the cause of the abdominal pain. The bad news is, a cause was never found. The good news is every test came back normal. She continues to struggle with her health, but is doing much better. (These cell phone pictures are the best.)
