Things are looking up. Maddie spent alot of time awake yesterday afternoon and evening. She is getting more formula than before and digesting it. She is wetting and pooping in diapers. This means here digestive system that has had a new shock of blood flow is working. She will have some more lines removed today. They will take out the breathing tube and and she will be a baby elephant, see photo below. The junk in her chest is breaking up and getting lighter.
At this point she has a monitor on her foot for oxygen level, monitors on her chest for heart rate, IV for fluids to keep her hydrated, the line measuring her blood pressure will be removed and they will us the cuff to measure her bp. The feeding tube will be removed and hopefully Friday we can take a bottle again.
Thanks to everyone who has been thinking of us and praying for us. It is a slow process but she is doing much better. TTFN
