Day #4 ICU

It's been a pretty good day.
Aine is stable and doing well. Her lung xray which was done this AM looked better than the one that was taken the day before! She is back and forth between the bipap & high flow machines with the hopes of weening her off and not having her lung go backwards.
She has been sleeping alot, but was a lucky little girl while she was awake because she got a visit from her Auntie Cindy today. She came to pick Liam up from his short stay with us :( let's just say it was a happy and sad visit all at the same time. Nothing like taking you baby boy for a visit only to have him do anything he can think of to avoid going back to the room.
But during his visit the both of us took a much needed nap and had some mommy and son time - which would be the reason there were no updates posted to the blog.
Her chest tubes are continuing to have less drainage :) she was put on blood pressure meds today, she is continuing to get lasix so she is continuing to get potassium. She happy because she gets to eat all the time and glad that daddy brought her some texture books (not a good "sharing" item in the hospital).
Still no time frames, but hey - as long as we continue to have improvements, all is ok. I keep praying that there will be no further bumps in the road, but I guess only time will tell.
We're lucky that we have such a good team working with us & are so blessed that we have such wonderful prayers, good thoughts, and kind words coming our way.
Thank you!
