ROUND 5
Allie has been kissing the canvas these past few days, it seemed the reigning champ was down and out and we thought she might throw in the towel but Allie has come out from her corner, feet dragging a bit, but it looks like this fighter is going the distance!
Allie is still having large amounts of chest drainage, a bit unusual for 4 days post op. However, the drainage was tested and showed no indication of Chylothorax. This is HUGE blessing. However, the amount of drainage still needs to subside.
She has been off oxygen for 12 hours now and is holding a good pattern of oxygenation levels at 90%! This is a great improvement from the 70% rate she has lived on for 3 years. When this is all over she is going to feel great!
IV fluids have been discontinued :)
The hope is that this will make her thirsty and hungry!
Please keep that desire in prayer for her.
Kidney function is up with the help of some magical drugs.
She functioned on these medications for her first year of life.
We would just prefer minimal medications and natural function in her body
but we a grateful for the medications.
Allie is talking more, we've even seen a smile :)
Sometimes one little boost is all we need to see over the hurdles.
