Agitated.

Not me.

Olivia.

She's still doing great. It's just that when she's awake, she pretty much thrashes back and forth. If she continues to be so mad, they have talked about re-starting the paralytic. I really don't want that. I'm loving seeing her awake. It's just a matter of keeping her happy when she's awake. She just seems so much more aware of the vent tube. I don't know why. It's been there for...well, forever.
Anyway, there aren't any huge goals for today. They do want to continue to try to wean down her epinephrine and/or her vasopressin. The doc wants her blood pressure in the 100's, but her normal blood pressure is usually only in the 80's, so I'm not anticipating much headway there. Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised?!?
Regardless of all that, she's peeing great. She looks good. Her numbers have been good. Her oxygen sats are great. No complaints here.

So, I was listening to this song, and thought about sharing it with you. It just reminds me of how much each and every one of the children are in the PICU and wanted to share with you. I will admit it brings tears to my eyes EVERYTIME. If for some reason it doesnt work, either look up lyrics or go to you tube and look up Miley Cyrus The Climb. Were sending you our Love and Prayers.

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb (yeah)

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb (yeah yeah ea ea)

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith
