She's turned the corner

Emily is doing wonderful still! She is down on 1 of the blood pressure medication from 20 to 18 and the other one from 20 to 8. They are weaning every other one. So every 2 hrs when they check her blood pressure if it still above 40 they wean down by 1 on 1 of the medications and then the next time they will wean from the other one. She's on room air! :) 21% oxygen, what you and I breathe! She did lose a little weight, but she has lost a lot of fluids. She was going to the bathroom a lot so they were replacing what she peed. They have decided not to do that. So she is losing that fluid. She is just under 1.3ozs. They have her on her belly tonight. They said she likes that. The nurse that has her had her last weekend. She she said her skin looks much better. :) (But it's still pretty bad, but it's healing)

I am so glad she's turned the corner! Makes it easier for me to rest.
