16 Months Old

Lynnea is now 16 months old. During the night, and again this morning, they had to increase the amount of Epi that she was getting because her blood pressures were too low. The good news is that over the course of the day they were able to wean it back down again, and for the time being her blood pressures look OK. She has not officially spiked a fever today, though her temperature is clearly on its way back up now (currently 100, officially it will be a fever if it reaches 100.4), so I will not be surprised if she spikes one overnight. Her white blood cell count was lower today than yesterday, but still not as low as it was the day before yesterday. Her tube feedings have not really been going well, despite switching her to a GJ-tube, so today they cut her feedings in half to see if that helps. She was not as agitated today as she was yesterday. Tomorrow she will likely have a lung profusion scan to check the amount of airflow and blood flow to both of her lungs.

Tina and family we are praying many times a day and we have her on a prayer chain in several churches, all the way out to Vegas,and California.
Our problem is that only god knows what he has for her, and we know he will do what he sees write. But please know we are with you in prayers. You have to take care of yourself too.
