Katie Mei has not been doing well this weekend. She spent most of yesterday (Saturday) vomiting. She has not eaten and kept down solid food since Wednesday. Her chest cavity is also still draining a lot of fluid and hasn't decreased since Friday, thus they cannot take out the drainage tube. Last night she was given an anti-emetic for the vomiting and today she took formula and a little yogurt, but still has no desire to eat. She just wants to lie there with her eyes closed. It's sad to see.
On a positive note, she returned to normal heart rhythm late Friday night and was taken off the pace maker, so she's been holding her own since then. She's had some minor arrhythmias, but nothing anyone here is concerned about. She also had the heart tube removed (that was for administering drugs directly to the heart if needed) and had no problems with that.
Our big prayer request now is that she get back to eating solids and that the drainage would decrease dramatically.
Thanks for holding us up,
Petrie

OH, CRUD! I had just checked the other blog thinking great! She had another good day because there was no other news (I know it's hard keeping 2 up!) and then I checked this one just in case. Bummer. Well, hopefully today will be better. Maybe all those drugs pumping thru her body and her stomach just couldn't handle it all? That's my simple minded logic and hopefully that's all it is...Well, we'll be saying more special prayers in Church today...Love ya,
Katie
