Still Some Shakes

Last night was pretty rough!  Amelia was pretty whinny most of the middle of the night.  On top of that, our nurse was in the room what seems like every 2 seconds...ALL NIGHT LONG!!!  The only person who got a little sleep was Wesley.  OK...enough of my whining.

Amelia seems to be going through some slight withdrawals.  She is still a little cranky and a little shaky.  Following the extubation, she has been doing very well.  We have slowly been weaning her oxygen support and she is close to coming off the support.

The good news for today is Amelia is down to only her PICC line.  She had her pheresis, arterial and other IV lines all removed this morning with no problems.  Kim and I are super excited about that because this means we will be able to start to have her walk soon.  She is pretty week from being out for most of the last week and somewhat out for the week before that.  It has pretty much been Christmas since the list time she was really up and walking.  This will help her improve as well.

We are thankful the line removals went well today!  We continue to pray for her blood levels.  She is still fluctuating in the 10-40 range, going up and down regularly.

Blessings

PS:  I do not remember if I mentioned that Wesley had his first tooth bottom front) poke through in the last week or so.  It also looks like he has the top two front teeth about to break through too!!!  We have been slowly getting him to eat people food too.  Not much, a few bites of apple sauce and Cheerios, but hey!!!...its progress!!!
