Monday update

The surgeons took Leah off of the paralytic this morning, but she is still under heavy sedation. They just gave her some Ativan because even while sedated she was kicking and squirming and making grimace-faces. Poor kid. She cannot be feeling very well. Sedation is a good thing. She is retaining a lot of fluid and they just added a third daily dose of Lasix. The poor kid is so puffy in the face.

Leah also seems to have developed a pressure sore at the back of her neck. We just found that a little while ago so there isn’t much to update there.

  1. Still saying a prayer for your babybug. She will get thru this and learn to walk and then run around your house!! Am thinking about all of you….keep the faith.

  2. No paralytic! Great news! Leahbug, little sweet one, another few days and things will be better and easier! You are too sweet to have to go through this, but like Cynthia said, it’ll be soooo worth it in the end!!!

  3. Thank you for the updates on Leah bug! I can’t wait to hear that she is home and getting stronger every day! Give her kisses from Karbie and me!
