Crazy girl...

Okay. I just heard back on the preliminary results on the echo. Nothing significant. Same old, same old.
However, another exciting thing happened overnight. Olivia's epi drip is off! This is huge. She wouldn't even tolerate them changing the syringe yesterday, and now it's off?!? We're thinking that it was her adrenal glands doing some crazy stuff, so they put her on steroids. This has seemed to help tremendously.
Her platelets were only 13,000 this morning, so she is getting a refill today.
All of her blood gases have been great - good enough to start weaning down her vent. It's just that no one seems to know where to go from here on the vent settings since it's a newer experience for everyone.
Keep you posted...
