Alexis should have a good day for the fact that she should be getting her breathing tube out today (praise God), but it probably will be an uncomfortable day for her. The doctors had to back off of her pain medicine before they pull her tube out because she needs to be fully aware of what is happening. The even better news is that the MRI came back this morning and every thing is "normal". They believe that all the "seizures" she has been having are not seizures rather "regular" baby movements and some aggravation. (Lexi is a little princess and doesn't like to be bothered!) The doctors will most likely be keeping her in the ICU until Sunday to monitor her breathing and to ensure that her blood pressure is normal. If everything goes well, she will be moved out of the ICU, and moved to the Cardiac Step Down Floor Sunday. She will continue to be fed by a feeding tube and then HOPEFULLY tomorrow WE will be able to hold her and feed her by bottle! We are so thankful to begin seeing some improvements. The doctors have said that for every tube that is removed, Lexi is one step closer to coming out of the ICU. The catheter was removed yesterday and today she should get rid of the ventilator and one IV. That only leaves 2 more IVs and two nose tubes (plus a bunch of wires that will be on until she goes home). Thank the Lord!
Prayer Requests:
Please pray that Alexis is comfortable during the removal of the breathing tube. Also, please pray for a smooth transition from the ICU to the CSDF.
Continue to pray for Jon's classes at Liberty as we seek some answers and BEG for extensions!
