Doing Better




As of this morning, Katie Mei has eaten a wonderful dinner and breakfast. Her potassium levels are fluctuating too high and too low, and she's on a diuretic to try to remove some of the fluid in her lungs. That's still not improved and is so critical for her oxygen levels. However, she pulled out her oxygen tube and her O2 sats stayed in the high 80s so the doctors said she could go without it.


Jay gave her a bath this morning and wheeled her to the play room where she got a little fun time playing with the dishes. I know she misses Merrilee and Jacob because they always make "kitchen time" fun for her. It's got to be lonely for her when she's been used to having lots of other children around her all her life.


She is otherwise continuing to improve in little steps. Please praise God for his wonderful works in her in the last 24 hours! I am so thankful that things are looking better today.


Blessings,
Petrie

Praise God, Praise God, Praise God! I'm so glad she's doing better. Poor thing--she looks sooo sad. For good reason--but it breaks your heart. I'm sure this is a tough time for you Petrie--I hope you're doing ok. Praying for you and Jay too!

Love, Lisa A
