Another Good Day....

Another good day for our girl.  Today her numbers were: BUN- 78 & creatinine- 3.6
We are getting closer and closer to that 3 to avoid dialysis.  There was even talk of discharge next week if her numbers keep moving in the right direction.  Depending on what her numbers do by Monday, then the decision will be made to either discharge her home, to RMH, or to Dell Children's in Austin.  If her numbers are good but still not low enough they may discharge her to RMH with us and then we would have to come back maybe every other day for outpatient lab draws until she's good enough to go home.  If for some reason the progression downward slows and she would have to be monitored for longer then we could transfer to Dell Children's in Austin.  My hope is that she makes a complete turnaround and is dischargable to go HOME sometime next week.
Reagan had a good day.  The golden retriever that is part of the Pain Management team here came by to see Reagan today.  She enjoyed seeing and petting the dog.

She also got to go for another wagon ride.  We have been going on one daily now. 

Our friend, Lisa Shirley, came by just in time for the wagon ride so she was able to go with us outside by the fountain and see Reagan enjoying the fresh air.  She also brought me some Sprinkles cupcakes.  Thanks so much, Lisa!
Physical Therapy also came by and worked with Reagan.  We worked on standing and squatting and also worked a puzzle. 
Last but not least, Aunt Kay flew in tonight and got to see and hold Reagan for the first time in about 6 weeks.  Reagan loved seeing her and smiled for the event.

My boys fly in Friday morning.  A huge thank you to our neighbor, Dick Mayfield, for getting up at the crack of dawn to take them to the airport.  I can't wait for us all to be together again and for Reagan to see her bubba.  Last time, he was here she was still out of it on the ventilator.  I know brother's company will be the perfect medicine for her.
