Thread: My little Jayden is n Arkansas Children's Hospital

Finally got the iPad to work on their network. Jayden was admitted on Wednesday with what we knew started out as a virus, to being unable to breath. After many trips to our local walk in clinic (because each time our doctor was unavailable) we were finally referred by another doctor to the Arkansas Children's Hospital since no one was making any progress diagnosing her problem. By the time we got here she had developed an abscess in her lower lung, covered by fluid, with a partially collapsed lung. After a chest tube, to drain her lung, a typical IV, and a PIC (another type of IV under her arm, through her vein to just above her heart for antibiotics). I know I can't tell you how hard it has been seeing my baby girl in this shape. They removed her chest tube this a.m. and her first IV saying she is doing much better. I cannot express just how impressed I am with Arkansas Children's Hospital, the doctors, and nursing staff. They truly embody what I would hope and expect out of a hospital that caters to children. I am seriously impressed!
