Day Two

Update: Lorelei is finally resting peacefully. They did take out the breathing tube and she was not happy, she just wanted to be on her belly where she is most comfortable! She was fighting sedation and finally Grandma Friedel held her and rocked her and she calmed down. (They don't normally allow it but it was the ONLY way she would calm down. She even tried to sit up at one point.) They took her catheter and heart wires out and also took the oxygen sensor off of her head. She has a heavier blanket on her now so she may have been cold too. But she's more comfortable now with some tubes/wires out.
The nurse said that they will try to wean her off her meds tonight, maybe try to get the central line out and maybe start her with some food. My mom, John's parents and us are going to eat and then will probably go back and visit her tonight. Sorry no pics today but she wasn't in the mood.
Also, there are 2 children ahead of Lo to go up to 7C and it doesn't look like anyone is moving up there so we may end up being discharged from PCICU. We will see. Maybe tomorrow she can watch some Mickey Mouse! Until tomorrow...................


We just went in to see Lo, her blood pressures are still up and she was trying to wake up. I had to walk out seeing her coughing and in pain and there was nothing I could do to help. They are now trying to take out the breathing tube to see if that will help. Otherwise she is doing well. Lets just hope the breathing tube coming out helps.
