STILL IN STEP DOWN

Shantel is still in step down and on continuous albuterol. They have to get her steroids down in order for them to safely be able to do the transplant. What this means is that the steroids help keep her airways open and without them she moves less air through her lungs...........translation - hard to breath. Rx: continuous albuterol. This means she is confined to her room and she gets very bored. Luckily they have great child life people that keep her entertained with crafts and projects. She's into Webkins so that keeps her busy. She also has homework and loves movies and we try to come up with new stuff to keep her occupied.
We continue to pray that the transplant will be soon.
