Three for three!

Woohoo!
One of the nurses last night asked if Olivia was on the upside of things. I, of course, said I wouldn't go that far. However, she may be considering it. She had a great day yesterday. They did increase her sedation and paralytic, turned off the calcium drip, and turned her oxygen down to 60%! She is poopin' like a mad woman so her tummy looks tons better. They did identify the secondary infection as Diplococci. It's a bacterial infection in her lungs most likely caused from being on the vent for so long. That just opens doors for infection.
Anyway, all is well. I'm anxious to get in there this morning and see how her night went.

WooHoo is right!! Great news! I hope you're still planning on heading to FL this weekend! It sounds like Olivia just might cooperate and let you leave for a little while. I'm sure your mom will keep a good eye on her for you!
