no results / nothing new

she had her CAT scan

there is still no results from

her surgery yesterday and her scan today

she's still heavily sedated and resting

her nurse told me she's doing ok

they are taking a lot of fluids from her

-she's on continuous dialysis -so that's good

and they were able to lower her settings on

her breathing machine -so that's good

and her 'numbers' are good -so that's good

also the air around her heart has not increased

so they 'think' that's good...


a lot of guessing and waiting and this is driving me

nuts!

good news ...and bad

the good news is that they've taken that

big, double-wide vent tube out of her mouth

and replaced it with a smaller one

seems the issue of a 'collaped lung' has passed

she's oxygenating well and her numbers are good


the bad news is that her x-ray this morning revealed

air in the sack around her heart

it's not causing any trouble yet,

but they gotta fix it, air is escaping from somewhere


so today they'll do a CAT scan and more x-rays

to see what's wrong and also get the results from her surgery


big day for my little girl
