I guess there isn't much to report on today. Mackenzie's sugar level is down a lil so they have been giving her some extra glucose. They are not really concerned with this because apparently they took some out of her TPN so they are just going to add back in there. I guess also that they use sugars to help heal so her body is using extra sugar right now. I was worried about diabetes at first but i guess her sugar would be high not low so that's good plus it doesn't run in either of our families. The sugar loss might also point to an infection, but all her vitals and other blood work is good, so that doesn't look like the case. Her abdomen is red around her cut, wear all the stitches are. Doesn't seem like anything to worry about yet but it is being watched. This can be caused just because of the irritation of being cut and stitched up a couple of times. If the redness gets worse or starts to spread away from the immediate area or starts to get any type of liquid coming out, then that is a sign of infection. They also just lowered some of her ventilator settings again, which is good maybe soon they can take the tube outta her throat. But they want to put the broviac in before they take out the breathing tube for anesthetic reasons. We got more blankets today also, and some booties and socks so her lil feets stay warm. When her lullabies were turned on tonight (they have some you can play through there hospitals setup) Mackenzie got a big smile on her lil face cause she loves her lullabies. She used to love listening to her's at home in the swing and nip nap and bassinet. Have a great day, and God bless.

Jesus can heal me through my believing, receiving, and speaking His Word or through the touch of another believer who is empowered by the Holy Ghost.
