A Week Ago

A week ago today, Natalie just had her 4th open heart surgery.  She is doing better and getting stronger daily.  I truly believe we are doing so good, because of all the prayers, thank you all much.

 

She still has a little fluid in her lungs and her potassium is down, but we have had her up walking so hopefully that will help.  She still does not have much of an appetite, but I did get some food down her today.

 

The doctors decided that her oxygen may just be lower because of her size, so we are now trying to wean her off the oxygen completely.  She has been lowered down quit a bit today and hopefully be tomorrow she will be completely off

 

For us to actually get discharged, she needs to be off oxygen, potassium stabilize and no more fluid on her lungs.

We had a great weekend with family in town.  Larry's parents came in town, my aunt and cousin from Houston and Carter!  Carter has a wonderful time seeing  his sister and it perked her up when he was around.

 

Carter, Larry and Papa went to Legoland Saturday.  Carter had a blast!  I think Christmas this year is going to be a Lego Christmas at my house at least from him.
