Charlene also looked bad (bluish lips) last night and that didn't improve in the morning. Her oxygen saturation was bad at around 70+. The doctor is really concerned as they have yet to find the source of infection. It seems like she caught another infection and it is affecting her lungs again. They increased the settings of the oxygen machine and put back some of the medications. They also re-started the nitric oxide which was very effective in helping her. Charlene's oxygen saturation immediately jumped to 95, prompting the nurse to say "So, U like the expensive gas!"
The doctor said that all the good work and progress has been undone and she is very ill. Her condition is back to the very initial stage when she first came in to ICU. Charlene is already on maximum support. There is not much that the doctors can do for her if her condition worsens.
