Her x-ray was the same as it was this morning which is a good and bad thing. Good because there is not more fluid but bad because the fluid is not draining. Because of this they added an extra med that will help drain excess fluid. We need this fluid to drain because it is around the lungs and she cannot leave the icu until this fluid is gone. If the meds don't work they will have to put a drainage tube in and it could have to stay in for a few days. The blood gas came back as all normal which is good. And the heart echo showed the heart looks great and is functioning just as it should! They had to call pain management in again because the pain meds are just not working. My sweet baby is very uncomfortable and they have had to move her around a few times and she just screams out in pain.
Basically, here are our pray requests for now...
1. That her pain meds would work and that she would be able to rest
2. The meds will help the excess fluid to drain and
3. That should would be able to eat (She hasn't eaten all day!)
I have to say I could never have imagined how hard this is! As I sit here looking at her, thinking about how much I love her I am reminded that God loves her even more than I ever could. I am so thankful that He loves her. But I also think about how much it hurts me to see her in so much pain and agony. I'm then reminded that God gave His Son to die on a cross.
John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
My Maddie's heart has been physically repaired but only God can heal heart heart spiritually and I'm praying He does that at an early age!
Here is a picture of Maddie in her socks...
