We are past 24 hours post surgery and we could not have asked Arlyn to do a better job! She is an amazing little bean sprout an above all continues to improve. This evening Arlyn's paralytic was turned off and she was able to open her eyes and look at mommy and daddy. Daddy continues to shower Arlyn in kisses and amazing that Arlyn gets excited when mommy or daddy talk to her. She loves to have her hands by her face and right now they have her arms to her side but we watch and every time she moves she tries to bring her little arms back to her face. One baby step forward today and excited about tomorrows prospective.
This evening Arlyns lactate was on the rise a little bit to 2.5 from 1.8, thinking it was from the extra movement and treated with bicarb. This evening they also were thinking about removing her foley catheter now that she no longer requires the paralytic. The perfusion to her feet is much better and her temperature is more even than before so pulses are easily found on her feet. The vent continues to wean and her Fi02 is down to 35% from 50%. As a bonus they also removed her umbilical arterial line today. Mommy and daddy has been at the bedside for most of the day today and will plan to update the blog after rounds tomorrow morning. Thank you everyone for your prayers we love you all.
