Day 6: "Suprised but not unexpected"

That is what the doctor told me this morning about Liviana's current condition. He said he was surprised she was having as much difficult as she is given how stellar she was doing before surgery but it is not unexpected for post-op, he just did not expect it with her.

She had a rough moment in the middle of the night and they seem to find she will get agitated and her sats drop and they have had to help her recover by increasing her vent, and one time bagging her.

They have given her blood, not a complete transfusion but still some assistance. They are hoping the increase in red blood cells will help her carry the oxygen through her system. Her blood gases remain okay to good and she has no sign of acidosis and has quite a buffer before they would be concerned about it.

I talked to the doctor for a while but I am drawing a blank currently on the rest of our conversations about Liviana. We are not in a danger zone and he says the next 24-48 hours will be important.

I am so frightened for my little Liviana....

Checking in to see how your little fighter is doing. Not as good as you hoped, but better than you expected at times, it would seem. But Amy, how are YOU doing?

I am praying for Liviana. With Cadenne Hope's journey, we have had to really learn to not fear but to trust God. So I am also praying for peace for you and Brad!

Hi, Amy! I just spoke with Tricia who is at the hospital with Cadenne Hope. I told her about the latest blog post, and she asked me to tell you that if you have questions or need to talk you can either e-mail her at kariabi@earthlink.net or you can call her on her cell at 949-394-6894. You guys are in all of our prayers!

I continue to lift you all in prayer. YOu could also e-mail clearly random and get some words of wisdom--He did lots of research and stuff while waiting for Sabrina. remember--out of the darkness comes light. Sounds like she is in a good place(md/hospital) so put your trust in God and the guys at the hospital.
