So,
A lot has happened since I was able to post last.
Aine was removed from the ventilator and sent up to the floor to finish recovering.
It was discovered that she had excess fluid on her lungs and that diaretics were the best course of action. The poor little girls body dumped too much sodium and she ended up back in the ICU :( for close monitoring.
She was able to level out her sodium levels the way that she is supposed to, but now she has to work on getting her neck, face, and diaper rash cleared up - along with getting rid of the infection, and work on growing (she is 3.1 kg - or - 6.82 pounds)
The wound on her chest is still open in the two places and they are continuing to clean it out three times a day.
As of this time she is remaining in the ICU to continue healing and we will be discussing the "next plan of attack" sometime soon.
We are hoping and praying that she will be able to come home soon, but don't have any guestimates at this time.
