24 August, Tuesday: Brief update (1 PM, Hawaii Standard Time) – Last night Gabriella had a rough patch…high heart rate and respirations.
Unclear at this time if related to new medication or just increased heart failure. Met with Dr. Mahnke this morning and he re-admitted Gabriella to the hospital for further evaluation. Both Mom and Dad are pleased with Dr. Mahnke’s decision, as it is the low-risk course of action.
Bottom line: this is not a crisis, just prudent medicine. Visitors are welcome: Room 10, Pediatrics Ward, 7th Floor (Oceanside), Tripler Army Medical Center – No need to call first. Finally, GG’s weight was up again today another ounce…another step forward. As always, thank you for your prayers.
