Payten was admitted to the ICU this evening for respiratory distress

Today was the children's primary program at church, therefore Joseph and I both wanted to be to see the kids say their part and sing. Even though Payten was still struggling, we felt it was manageable, so we took her to Church, where we quickly found out that her complications were not manageable. She went into respiratory distress, to the point we could not get her oxygen levels to up even with extra oxygen support. Once the program was over we got the kids and took them to their Grandma's house, while we took Payten to the hospital. The Emergency Department got us back without a wait and when the Doctor came in, he asked us a few questions, then said he was admitting her and would go find a bed for her in the PICU. After this he gave orders to the nurses to get x-rays and cultures done. Now, this is very unusual for the doctor to admit a patient and then give orders, typically they want a diagnosis or to find something wrong before they decide to admit. Not sure if he just took our word for it or if he saw something seriously wrong, either way she needs to be there and I am glad it went so smoothly. I pray that she shows them the distress she has been showing us during her sleep times and that we can figure out what is causing the distress. The doctor said Payten needed to stabilize before she can have a bronchoscopy done, but that he felt it was a much needed procedure, therefore it would preformed once she was a little more stable. Please pray for our sweet daughter, so we can find answers and the relief she desperately needs. Thx and have a great night.
