It's Been Three Weeks

It has been three weeks since the last time I was able to hold Lynnea. This is the longest that I have ever had to go without holding my baby. Overall she had an OK day today. Her white blood cell count is down again today, which is a good sign. She spiked a fever overnight last night -- it reached 100.5, but she has not had a fever yet today. She had a lung profusion scan this afternoon. It showed 87% of her blood flow going to her right lung, while only 13% goes to her left. This isn't good, but it is not much different than the scan they did back in December. Nothing else new today for Lynnea.

Another family lost their child unexpectedly this evening. He was a little boy named Riley, who had just celebrated his fourth birthday. He had been here in the hospital for nearly a year waiting for a heart transplant. The Berlin Heart that was keeping him alive failed unexpectedly. Please keep his family in your prayers.
