this was my life. I was happy. She was doing so good, we were planning for the future with her:depressed
Danica 6/15
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She is doing good. Her swelling is really down from last night. She is completely off all her blood pressure meds now. But her pressure is a little high. So they are going to give her a direretic to make her pee more than she is. hoping that maybe all fluid that she still has is pushing her pressure up. they are probably going to take her umbilical lines out this weekend or early next week. they are starting move. which means she will have to have surgery to have a broviac line (permanent IV) put in. but i feel better about them doing that then trying to stick her with IV's all the time. once all the swelling is down and she is stable for 24 hours they are going to put her feeding tube in. I am so looking forward to that. She is having another head ultrasound on monday to check on the bleed that she has. the last one showed that the bleed was bigger but by a very small amount. it wasnt blocking anything or backing up blood. and it still wasnt in the brain tissue. so that is good. her chest xrays look great! her lungs except for the top portion of her left lung is black, finally. that one portion keeps collapsing, but it finally pops open when they are able to get mucus out of her lungs when they suction her.
i was shocked when i saw her this afternoon. her swelling has gone down so much from last night! she is starting to look like my little girl again. so, all in all everything is still good.
