Entry for January 06, 2006
Hi, Quick update. Cailtin's blood pressure is still doing really good, pretty stable. They are going to remove her line from her tummy tonight, the one that takes her blood pressure and not sure whatelse they use that line for so it is good though because they said one less risk for infection. Also they are going to try to wean her off her oscilater tomorrow or the next, possibly tonight but they said probably not. If she is able to get off the big oscilater then we can start to hold her!!!!! She also did a poopey today!!! Yeah it was pretty messy lol. It is good though because that means her bowels are working good. Also she is on diaretics(sp?) to help her urinate a lot so she can get rid of some fluid and also to help her lungs.She is def peeing up a storm, you could tell that she lost alot of fluid because she looked really skinny today and even lost some weight , I belive she was about 1lb 7oz or somehting close to that. Can't wait for her to put on some actual weight so she can be a chunky monkey and gets more better. Oh another thing she has decided that she no longer likes to be on her back. The nurse tried to put her on her back and she would keep desating so she had to switch her on her side a bit, so her prefrence is her side and loves being on her tummy. hmmmm wonder what to do when we get to bring her home??? I can already see that she will be trying to get her way all the time lol That is about it, I guess that wasn't such a quick update lol. Ok bed time.
