Day 12

Nothing much changed today, Anya was quieter. She was still overstimulated by simple care like diaper changes so we didn’t visit much again today. By the evening she was a lot calmer and all her numbers are looking well. She is kind of puffy; hopefully tomorrow they will start back on diuretics. Right now I just want to support whatever she needs to keep the ECMO stable so she can get off of it as soon as she is able. I had a good conversation with her nurse today that made me feel more confident about leaving her; I was only visiting for a few hours a day but was worried I would miss something if I didn’t come more often. More peace today and praying that a few more days on ECMO makes a big difference, and that she can go a few more days without a circuit change.
