Kaelyn

Wade and I went to see Kaelyn this morning. She is doing remarkably well. All of her counts are heading in the right direction. The nurse said that she is very fiesty and strong willed. She said that Kaelyn woke up this morning and acted like she was done with all this mess and was ready to walk on out the door! Unfortunately, we can't have her moving around that much, so they had to sedate her (the nurse said it took quite a bit of medicine, because she was fighting it so much). All of the doctors and nurses say that in their experience that the fiesty ones recover much quicker. The nurse said that her liver function was doing very well.

They do need to bring her Hematocrit (red blood cell) count down. It is at 50 right now and they want it to be around 35. A higher concentration of red blood cells means the blood is thicker and more viscous which creates a higher chance of clots. So they are going to remove some blood and replace it with Albumin, which is a plasma derivitive without the platelets (clotting factor). They also are going to try and remove her breathing tube later on today.

She is doing so good. Heavenly Father is surely looking out for our girl. We have realized so many blessings in the past 24 hours. Thank you all for your prayers and support. We will definitely keep this site updated as often as possible.
