Praising God for more good news!!!

While Ali is still in the same room, she is now longer an PICU charge. In other words for all practical purposes she is not in need of ICU care anymore. She is off oxygen, IVs, and all the monitors except for the pulse oximeter. She is alert and active. We are all hoping we may be discharged tomorrow now, but there are still many things to accomplish first such as getting home oxygen set up in case of emergencies.

We also spoke with one of the neurologists today. Basically the EEG did not show any obvious seisures, but it difficult to diagnosis mild seisures in a baby. The CAT scan also is not very accurate in testing the developing brain, so while she may have brain abnormalities it is difficult to really diagnosis at this point (and it does not effect her care at all right now), so for now we will not focus on those possible issues.

The most important issues for her are her airway and breathing, so that is what we will focus our energies on for the time being.

Prasing God, encouraged, and hopeful,
Jill
