Another day is almost gone, Amber is still at CHLA and still intubated. She is on so many medications... First thank you Lord for today, thank you that Amber is not getting worst, thank you for watching over her and our family. Second, thank you all for your prayers, messages, good thoughts and positive energy. Thirdly, lets talk about Amber... she is stable with all her medications. They feel part of her failure to stay extubated was her electrolytes which were low. They are giving her potassium, sodium chloride and arginine chloride to increase her electrolytes to prepare her for extubation in the next day or two. They will take and test another culture from the lungs to see what is going on with the infection. Neurology will do a MRI sometime this week, waiting on that too. Dr. Song should see her to follow up with the cataracts surgery, both eyes have been done. We never got a chance to take her back for her month follow up now she's there.
I drove down to LA on Monday night spent Tuesday and part of Wednesday with Amber... and of course with my husband :-) Kurt and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary on Tuesday... I know, I know you don't need to tell me about the math.
What a precious family, Jessie. I know this isn't how you imagined it would be, and my heart breaks with you. But thank God that the surgery was successful, and every milestone is an improvement. You are in my thoughts and prayers, as are your girls. Happy Anniversary, and let me know if you need anything.
