Today has been a day of tiny baby steps (no pun intended) in terms of recovery for Lexi. She has been put on a new blood pressure medication that is a beta-blocker. This has tremendously helped lower her blood pressure. They're continuing to ween her off of her ventilator, and hope to have it removed some time late tomorrow morning. The fluid on her longs is slowly but surely dissipating. Her swelling is going down, and was awake for the last five minutes before we left for the Ronald McDonald House.
Specific prayer requests:
Please pray for a good transition tomorrow off of her ventilator. This process can be a bit tricky because the doctors have to keep her blood pressure low, but also take away as much pain medicine as possible to ensure she is alert and able to breathe on her own. This probably will be a painful process for Lexi. Pray for her strength and her's as well as we overcome this next big obstacle.
Also, please pray that we can find the funds to purchase air purifiers for our home and a special breathing monitor that Lexi will need when she returns home.
