08/25/2009 HAPPY THREE MONTHS!!!

Well if you haven't already figured it out Mackenzie is three months old today. So i will be accepting all gifts in her name for now since she is not able, ha just kidding. But, we got good news today, hopefully tomorrow they will take the breathing tube out finally. Once this happens we will be able to hold her again. They have been lowering her ventilator settings all day to see how she does and they think she is ready. There hasn't been much more on the redness of her stitches so, no news is good news. Her sugar levels have leveled right back out to where they are supposed to be once they added the glucose back into her TPN. All her other blood work keeps coming back really good. There is also talk that maybe Friday they will insert the broviac. This should be her last surgery... hopefully forever. She has been more alert today, I don't think they will need to keep her on the pain meds much longer either. But it bothers her when they change the dressing on her stomach you can see her grimace. This is cause they have to push these lil pieces of gauze in between the the stitches on her skin to soak up the drainage and what not from the fascia. And they really jam em in there pretty good. We will also have to learn how to do this before she goes home, because she will not be fully healed. But other than that there isn't a whole lot new to update on, and i feel as she starts to get better there will be less and less. But, keep saying a lil prayer if you could and help her pull through this a lil faster. Thank you and god bless.

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.
