Wisdom Heart

Sophia had a good night.

Her swelling and fluid retention is much reduced.

They have weaned her oxygen to 50% and are weaning her Nitric Oxide (a respitory support).

They are not going to close her chest today. But, they will likely close it tomorrow.

She has had a low grade fever. They drew some cultures and one came back positive for a slight bacterial infection. They are adjusting her antibiotics to deal with it. But her fever is down.

Over all she seems much better today. We hope she continues to progress the way she has so far. I will post again sometime tomorrow or if anything changes.

Hopefully, they will close her chest tomorrow so we can start to progress toward waking her and getting her off the ventilator.

Thanks for the comments on the last post. Please keep them coming. I am sorry I am not able to respond to them at this point. But if you have a specific question regarding her treatment and I am able to answer it I will try.
