Midnight

The day is over. It was a good day. They closed Abi's chest, her heart is beating strong, saturation close to 100, kidneys are working great pushed by Lasix and Diuril. She is getting lots of meds, fluids and nutrition; all together about 12ml an hour. Started her nutrition and fats through IVs this afternoon. Bleeding in abdomen and heart area is minimal ;-).

The oxygen saturation in the air used by the ventilator was reduced from 60% to 40% (natural is 21%) (this is a good thing). Her heart rate, blood pressure and temperatures both core and skin surface are perfect. They need to use quite a lot of Versed (sedative medicine) via constant drip because she's 'ready to go' - moving and kicking a lot.

We spent couple hours with her this evening and she was just great!!! One of the IV lines was leaking some so they had to stop the bleeding, fortunately they didn't have to replace the line itself.

Praying for a good night for her and hoping for more good news tomorrow we're checking out tonight.
