Morning Coffee

Yesterday Lynnea had another grumpy day, but today was better. Her nurse this morning asked her if she would like some of her coffee, so Lynnea more than willingly took her coffee cup from her -- we didn't let her drink any, but it was pretty funny to see her play with the cup.

All of Lynnea's diuretics have now been transitioned from IV doses to oral doses, which is a step in the right direction. None of her sedation medications were weaned today due to the withdrawal symptoms she was experiencing yesterday. Her high flow oxygen was weaned down to 4 liters today, which is very exciting because it means that she might be able to take a wagon ride outside in the next day or so if the weather permits (this was Dr. St. Louis' request this morning during rounds -- that she go outside to get some sunlight and fresh air because she's been cooped up here in the hospital for so long).
