RE: My daughter is critically ill
Today was the same. She is stable. She has been on just one blood pressure medication but her toes and 2 finger tips are still black. I was saddened that there wasn’t any improvement. Larry went in this afternoon and I was going tonight because they said she is more alert in the evening. The nurse even asked Larry if she were a night owl. LOL, of course she is. As I got there I asked God to give me a sign that she was going to get better.
I chatted with the nurses and then they needed to do their 10pm stats on her. One is looking at digital display that shows the rates for blood O2, heart, blood pressure, …and She says to the other nurse come look at this. Her respiration was 16 on 2 monitors. It has always been 10. So the one nurse changes something into negative to she IF SHE IS BREATHING ON HER OWN! Yep she is. I said well of course she wants to chat with us.
She didn’t wake up or anything. It took me a few minutes to realize I got my sign. When I left her respiration was 12. Thank you Jesus! As I left I asked the nurse what this really means. She said SHE IS WAKING UP. The doctor gave orders for her to be sedated but the nurse said that she wasn’t going to do it until Alawna is uncomfortable. So she is slowly being weaned from a lot of the medicine.
This doesn’t mean that she is off any of the support that she is getting. Yet!

RE: My daughter is critically ill
Toni, that sounds like good news if she is breathing on her own and able to hold her respiration rate down around 12 per minute. Let's keep hoping she makes strides here although it rarely is a straight up improvement process. May have some ups and downs.
Take care and keep up your tremendous efforts for your daughter. She may be able to hear everything you are saying and you being there for her continues to help her:) Remember to try and get some sleep when you can...

RE: My daughter is critically ill
Toni- I hope she can get weaned off the vent fairly soon. It can be a little tricky going from relying on the vent to relying on the lungs again and may take a little time but it is encouraging to see her vital sigms seemed pretty stable in your last update. She is probably in very good hands. Take care...

Like Dave says, our prayers continue. Hang in there Toni. Your being there has likely helped her out a lot already thru this battle. Take care.

RE: My daughter is critically ill
10-9-10 Alawna is off the ECMO as of Thursday. She did well that day but the next morning was put on a low dosage of blood pressure medicine. Yesterday she had a tracheotomy done and while they did that they put a scope into her lungs and looked at her lungs and took some biopsies’. She is on dialysis. They put a filter in her main vein in her groin to stop any blood clots from moving around. She is breathing on her own but they have her hooked up to a ventilator (at her throat via the trach) to help her lungs get back into shape. She has had blood work and an MRI done also. Please keep praying!

The news tonight is grim. She has a fungus in her lungs.

I'm sorry Toni. We'll keep her in our prayers. God bless.
RE: My daughter is critically ill
10-12 am her husband says they say she is going in the right direction. They have used this term before when it is still bad but not looking as grim as it was. She is getting the drugs for the fungus both in the ventilator and IV.

10-13 am Nurse said she was doing OK. They changed her trach because it was leaking air. They put in a longer one. They will change her center line (IV) today. I forgot to ask about the bp medicine. But he didn’t say she was on it again. She still isn’t making urine. She is on dialysis.
10-13 pm she is doing the same as this morning.
10-14 am report. Doing the same. Vitals are ok. Still on dialysis. Nurse said slow and steady is good. Infectious disease (lungs) doctors are watching over her.
10-14 pm Doing the same. Slow and steady.
10-15am Her vitals are little unstable today but that may be expected as they are changing her sheets more (bowel movement) because she is being tube fed nutrition, They have been drawing lots of fluid off through the dialysis which helps lower her blood pressure so they put her back on BP medicine and are going to take less fluid off today. But yesterday they looked in her lungs and they are looking better. 10-15pm Her vitals are stable again. She is off the BP medicine She is still relying on the support of the ventilator and dialysis. They did another bronc...camera to look at her lungs today. Her husband is with her now and she OPENED her eyes. He said her feet aren’t black anymore just the tips of her toes.
