Eowyn Update 8: Another Good Day!

Yet again, God is so GOOD!! She has had another stable day .. HR around 135 (150 when she's awake), saturation is 94-97%, Oxygen is at 50% and the ventilator setting is at 23 (was at 27). Not only are the stats doing good she is also going to be off the paralytic tonight completely and if she stays stable they will keep it off for good .. As for the Flolan, the doctor told us yesterday that it's affect on her would be the same as the Nitric Oxide she's already on and with the Flolan she would have a possible side effect of bleeding in her lungs. So after talking it over with the doctor we decided to not do the new drug at this time. The doctor said she was doing well and he thinks it wouldn't be of any benefit at this time however if she does have another episode like she did at the beginning of this week he feels like it would be a good idea to start it then. Praise God for another good day, I just can't stop thanking Him for the work He is doing in her life .. and ours!!

Also they are going to start feeding her a little bit (1cc an hour) of breast milk .. Pray that it will not upset her tummy and that it will not block up her bowl es. She is still filled with fluid but when I saw her this morning her face looked less swollen, at least the Laysics (medication to help you absorb fluid and pee it out) is working and they did say it would take a few days for it to be really noticeable .. Praise God for medication and technology!!
