Updated Photos

Farrah had another good night. Her weight was up more than 100 grams totaling 2 pounds, 8 ounces, which makes the nurses suspicious that she is still retaining extra fluid. They will probably give her another dose of lasix to eliminate any extra fluid. We expect that her weight will drop a bit today. Her tummy has been soft and they have not have any concerns about it since she has been off all fortifiers.

They are putting another PICC line back in today, so please pray that it will go smoothly for Farrah. It serves as a more permanent IV line. There are no other orders for today. They are going to try to go up on Farrah's feeds again by going up one cc every 12 hours.

They have bean weaning Farrah's oxygen support on the breathing tube the last few days, so they will probably try the nasal cannula again soon. We hope and pray that her lungs will be able to handle the change and that she won't have to go back on the vent.

I've posted a few new photos below and also updated the shutterfly site with lots of photos of Farrah. She is opening her eyes more often these days, and these two photos capture that. She also still has her full head of hair.
