Wednesday Morning.

We had kind of a long night last night. My little Angel loved to be around her Mommy last night. Of course I loved it, but I hated to see her upset. I just kept feeling if I could just hold her, she would have been fine. Ok, I would have been fine too. She got a little upset every time I walked away from rubbing her head.As much as I am against the extra meds I asked the nurse to give her some because she actually started to cry. Do you know how hard it is to see your babay cry but you can't hear it because she has a tube down her throat. Finally I put a chair next to her bed and rubbed her head until we both fell asleep on her bed. Then around 1 am she was out and we both went to sleep.

We had a different nurse last night, so of course I was little on edge. She did a good job, but she had to change out her lines which makes me SUPER uncomfortable. Then one of her lines got a blood clot, and that was the one with her pain med. This is probably why she got soooo upset. She said it was like 10 minutes she did not get it. That was another reason for my decision on the meds. Needless to say, I was not super happy.Then her med lines beeped on and off most of the night.

As you can tell, I do have my favorite nurses. None of them are bad, just some make me more comfortable than others. Spoiled I guess.

We have not done rounds yet this am, but I asked the doctor to see her x-ray from this morning. Her lung looks a little better, so they want to lower the Nitric starting today. I called Daddy right away, because this makes me a nervous wreck. If it was me, I would give her lung one more day, I might suggest it during rounds. Needless to say I asked Duane to come asap so we can be here together.

Ok, we just did rounds, here is the update. We are going to put her tube a little further in her throat. They think it got moved a little. Then we are lowering her oxygen to 50% until noon. If all goes well, we will start lowering the Nitric by noon. We are at 20 and we will lower by 2's every two hours until she reaches 5. Again, as long as she tolerates it.

My stomach is in knots and I'm a nervous wreck. She just needs tons of continued prayers. You All have been so wondeful about this. I can't thank everyone enough for all the positive energy and prayers. I wish I could thank you all in person someday. Maybe I can!!!!! I guess I better shower and get ready for our big day.

Your continued prayers are greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!

All Our Love,
The Paulus Family
