Kelsey Had a Good Day

Well, the weekend wasn't great for Kelsey, her blood pressure kept dropping and they weren't sure why. They tested for an infection Friday but it was negative. They tested again Sunday and it was positive. She has a urinary tract infection and that seemed to be causing her blood pressure to drop. She's on antibiotics and doing much better today. The big praise of the day was they took out one of her draining tubes and her pacemaker. For the first time that I can remember her ALTs and ASTs were normal and her bilirubin was around 2 something. She still has a lot of fluid coming from her abdomen but they aren't real worried,yet. Our little girl is slowly getting better. She still has a long way to go but after a worrisome weekend today was good!!!
