Sick again

Waverly had a couple of seizures on Friday and just seemed not herself on Saturday. On Sunday she woke up just before 5:00 in the morning with a seizure and a temp of 101. As soon as the doctor's office was open we went in and she was diagnosed with another ear infection, and the other ear was on its way to being infected. She's felt terrible and had lots of congestion with it as well. She's on antibiotics once again (omnicef). Please pray that she will get better and for her congestion. It's always dangerous when she's junky in her chest because she can't cough as well due to her low muscle tone so the congestion tends to settle in her chest and can cause pneumonia. I also worry about her aspirating with the increased mucous and secretions. So we've been doing lots of chest PT and suctioning. The meds seem to be upsetting her tummy tonight and she's had increased neurological activity too which is driving her crazy and making her very twitchy. She's also needed more oxygen, mostly when sleeping but a little when she's awake too.
