Progress

Taryn is doing well today, just a few minor problems, but nothing real major. They removed her central line and arterial lines this morning. She has been draining quite a bit out of the small chest tubes (from her lungs) so they are going to leave those in for a least another day or two. They tried her on room air for awhile but she can't seem to keep her oxygen sat levels up so she is back on oxygen, which she likes to remove if left unrestrained. She started vomiting this morning and has done that a couple times so they have taken her off formula and she is having Pedialite until her tummy settles down. She is getting all of her pain med orally now so we need her to try to keep them down. She had an Echo just a little while ago and we are just waiting for the results to come back. Hopefully everything is good and we will still be moving to the floor today. She has been awake and calm most of the morning, which is great.

Again, we really appreciate all the prayers, help and support being sent our way. Thank you to whomever generously donated the cafeteria meal card to help us out with food during our stay. We sure appreciate all we have been blessed with.

Kenny and Michele,
We continue to watch her progress! She seems to still be doing well with some minor problems. At least she is calm and continuing to progress. The pictures are really wonderful! We can imagine what the kids thought when they saw her. We're glad that they got to be with her. We're still praying for a speedy recovery!
Love,
Dad and Mom
