ICU day 3

Kaelyn is doing fairly well. Her blood pressure was on the rise yesterday, but as soon as they were going to give her some medication for it, it went down on it's own. I think Kaelyn knew that they were about to add one more med to the multitude and refused to let them (*smile*)! She is such a fighter.

Today they have to take her off of her sedation meds, she can only be on it for 48 hours and then she needs a 24 hour break. They will take her off of it at about 1 pm. I think she will not be happy, and either will we. I hope their plan of increasing her Morphine and Adavan will be sufficient. I guess we will see.

They are still going to try and close her tomorrow. But her tummy is still pretty swollen, though the rest of her is pretty dry. She looks a lot better than she did when she first came out of surgery. All of her LFT's (Liver Function Tests) look great. They are not in the normal range of course but they are so much better than they were before transplant 2.

I will post later,

Angie

We're hoping today went alright and that they will be able to close her up tomorrow. We'll pray for you, too.

*hugs, hope, and happiness*
