Natalie - Quick Update

I thought I would give a quick update for today.  Natalie is doing better!  Everyday it seems her energy level is getting better and she is getting stronger. She is now sitting up more by herself without help, which is nice on so many levels.
 
Her chest xray showed a little fluid back on her lungs again today.  Her potassium is also down.  It is catch 22...we give her lasiks to get the fluid off her lungs, but it also brings her potassium down.  We are going to try a few new things to see if they will work.
 
Her oxygen has not changed much.  They did lower it a little from yesterday, but we need her to be totally off before we can leave.
 
Today, I am asking for prayers for her stats to continue to stabilize, the fluid in her lungs to clear and for her potassium levels to get better.
