Amelia had a rough night last night. It seemed like every 15-45 minutes something was being done: be it a doctor or nurse doing an exam, medicine coming on or off, lab draws or Amelia pulling something out that needs to be addressed, it was just a long night. In addition, one of her lab results showed positive for a virus she had from Transplant time, probably just the result of everything else going on.
Today, however, there were some improvements. The sore on her bum is getting much better (we will still have to worry about the tissue problem for a while). The sores on her lips are looking better and her lab work continues to improve. Her kidney function continues to improve and she is starting to pee out the fluids we have pumped in since admission on Saturday. The really good news is her rejection medicine levels in her blood have come done significantly! They are still much higher than we would like, especially since she has not received any of those meds for 72 hours now! She is also slowly starting to do Amelia things again...just a few here and there, but more than we have seen in nearly two weeks!!!
We are hoping she is now over the hump. Hopefully now, her body will have a chance to start to heal from all the damage inflicted from whatever she has had and we will only continue to see improvements in lab results.
Please continue to pray for her to respond to the medicines and other things we are doing. She has been doing a GREAT job with the IVs and breathing tube, playing and pulling on them only slightly. Pray she continues to leave them alone as she continues to improve and becomes more active.
Blessings
