Another really good night.

Olivia is holding her own. She's one amazing little girl! They were able to wean down a bit on her Dopamine and Vasopressin (both blood pressure medications) and go down a bit on her vent settings. All things considered, she's looking really good. Her color is so much better than Friday. They are still watching her fluid intake/output very closely. It's such a fine line with her. Her platelets have stayed up pretty well - sitting at 30,000 yesterday - and her white count has also come down. Hopefully she is almost over whatever infection is causing this. She is still on the paralytic, but like I had said earlier, it's not really holding her. She's definitely not uncomfortable and it's nice to see her wiggle every now and then. Weekends are always pretty slow in the "making progress" department, so I'm very surprised with how much has been done in the past couple of days. Keep you posted...

I am so glad you got a way for a while, Julie. You need time to refresh so you can keep up with everything going on with your family. God intended for us to take time out for this...
As always, you are all in our prayers...
Mike and Linda

Well, that was me who deleted a comment a few minutes ago. I was giving someone a blog makeover and forgot to log out of their account before leaving a comment, so I figured I should delete it.
Anyway, I'm so glad you had a good night and I hope the day is going just as well!!
