Another Update

Lynnea has remained stable all day. Dr. St. Louis still seems pretty confident that he will be able to close her up tomorrow. They began feeding her through her G-tube this afternoon. They are giving her 5 cc's of breast milk per hour right now and she seems to be tolerating it well. She has been waking up a little bit occasionally now, but now this is a good thing -- she wakes up enough to move all of her limbs a little bit, and then they give her more pain medication just to make sure she stays comfortable. The fact that she is able to move is a good indicator that her brain is still working well (this is a big concern after depriving it of oxygen during the surgery, and giving her so many different drugs that could potentially cause some brain damage). We are praying that things continue to go well for her.
