Amarie is still on the ventilator. The fluid and swelling all over her body is improving but she still has fluid in and around her lungs. Because of this fluid and the amount of oxygen she still needs they want to leave her on the ventilator. She was anemic (low blood levels..mostly because they have needed to draw so much blood work on her) so she had a blood transfusion yesterday which helped. However..as soon as we get one fire put out another one comes up. She started having seizures today. She had about 8 seizures today before they were able to get her on a medication that stopped them. They did an EEG and we are just waiting to see the neurologist. Hopefully he will be able to figure out why she is having seizures and give us some answers.
Thanks so much for everyone's support and prayers! Sorry we haven't been good at returning phone calls...its been so busy and you can't have cell phones in the ICU. It is such a blessing knowing that we are surrounded by such wonderful family and friends who are praying for Amarie and are so willing to help in any way possible. We couldn't do this without you guys!
P.S. Today is Amarie's due date :)
