before

Yep Rosie is 3 weeks old today. Shes rode in a helicopter had a surgery and is trying to grow, shes been a busy little girl. She is up to 10 mils she has to go without for a day because of the surgery but will be back in no time to that amount. She is still a little passed out from the pain medication and the muscle relaxer. They don't put them under like they would if and adult had a surgery. The anesthesiologist only uses those two things. She had an iv in her head.

surgery went well

just thought I would let everyone know the surgery went well Rosie is resting there were no complications. I will post some before and after pictures later. Thanks for all your prayers!!!

surgery

Sorry no update yesterday we came home and now we have to go right back because Rosie has to have the surgery for the PDA today at noon. Please pray that everything goes well its a pretty simple surgery but it is a surgery. Will update after the surgery.

trouble with PDA

Rosie had a little bit of a rough day her PDA is getting larger and starting to cause her trouble. Her oxygen has been up and down all day. She cant take the medicine for it because they started giving her a steroid to help her release fluids and it doesn't work with the heart medicine. If it keeps bothering her before they wean her off the steroid they may have to do the operation. Otherwise she is eating good and is still at 1 pound and 9 oz. Please pray for a good outcome for this.

good day

Rosie is having a good day today excellent blood gas, off the dopamine, and up to 8 mils of milk every hour. She is also up to 1 pound and 10 ounces. There are no scheduled labs only the regular blood gas every 6 hours. The oxygen is down to 30%. When its 20% they will take her off the vent again to see how she handles it. I would like to thank everyone for their wonderful comments and their prayers!!

good day

Rosie is doing good today her blood gas is leveled out today and she has been having good readings. She is being weaned off the dopamine and being put on cortizone to help her out to keep peeing. She had another blood trasfusion today and mom got to hold her again.

update from yesterday

Rosie is still having trouble with her blood gas going up and down being good one time and bad the next they will try to find her happy medium. Shes back on the dopamine. She is doing ok though eating good shes up to 5 mils every 3 hours as of yesterday. Hopefully we know more today about the blood gas. This may all be related to the PDA
