Day 8


Everything is still about the same from yesterday, they started weaning her ECMO settings again. Still hoping that we can get off ECMO in the next week or so! Cardiology reviewed her case today to look into the SVTs, and have prescribed a beta-blocker to slow it down; occasionally her oxygen to her brain would dip slightly, but nowhere near a danger zone. They hope that after some of the equipment is removed that the heart rate issue will resolve; the only thing they can guess is that it may be caused from her heart shifting from the right to the left. My only concern has been that it would affect her recovery, and so far it has not, so I am not worried now. She opened both her eyes today and was a lot more active! Very happy and enjoying our little girls!!
