She is pee-peeing. It's just a matter of getting rid of all the toxins when she does pee. Please pray the "getting rid of toxin pee-pee prayer"- as if God doesn't already know! He's probably laughing at me just typing such a nonsense statement. Anyway, thank you all for your support.
Reagan also continues to run about one fever a day. Cultures of all types have been sent but nothing is showing up. I feel like it's just the fact that she has a plastic tube in her (broviac line) and until that comes out she will run fevers. Unfortunately, she still needs a line in order to check her kidneys levels. Hopefully, these numbers will come down dramatically in the next few days and we could get rid of this broviac line.
She has been able to go on a wagon ride the last two days which has been great. She also is staying awake for longer periods and seems to enjoy the activities we have for her at her bedside such as coloring, watching Dora videos,
reading books, singing songs, playing with her baby doll,
and simply hugging and snuggling together.
THANK YOU FOR PRAYING FOR ME!
Great news! Continued prayers for the kidneys! Reagan looks so good. I'm sure that smile made your day as it did mine.
ReplyDeleteYay for movement towards a 3!! (of course I have no idea what this means, so I appreciate your "second grade" explanations!!) I love seeing that sweet baby girl smile. She is looking so great!! Still praying!! :)
ReplyDeleteTears of joy!!! As I type, my eyes are clouded with tears of joy! What a blessing to see that sweet smile on Reagan's face and in her eyes!! God is so good!
ReplyDeleteNolan and the A-9 crew had a BIG day today. "Beach reading" in the morning and Field Day in the afternoon. I bet there are kindergarteners sleeping tonight! He had more fun!! What a great guy!
Praying for infection-free, complete recovery,

Smiles!!! Wonderful. She looks so playful and relieved in the pictures..... shall be praying that the momemtum of her kidneys has not only shifted but build steam toward flushing it all out and stabilizing. Sooo thinking of you. Hope to see you tomorrow or Friday, and, perhaps, it may be to say goodbye so that you two may go home. :)
ReplyDeleteThinking of you!
