Checking In

Just called to check on our Itty Bit (as I've come to call her). She
had 15 Brady's last night (29 total for the day). Several were Apneic
(sp?) Meaning she stops breathing as well. But her O2 levels are
still at 21%. (Room air)

She got a unit of Owen's blood because her hermatocrit levels were
low, so we're hopeful the blood helps cure the Brady's. They will
check her hermatocrit levels again today or tomorrow to see if they've
gone back up.

She's only had one minor Brady this morning. If she doesn't cool it,
they will put her back on the ventilator today. Please pray hard that
the Brady's stop (and that they find the cause) and she doesn't have
to go on the vent.

On a brighter note, she gained an ounce! She's up to 1lb 9oz.

Pictures from the week are below.
