One Day at a Time

Josh and I went to see Allyson today. We were hoping to see her with the ventilation tube out of her mouth so we could get a picture of her cute face. We got there to find that she still had it in. The nurse taking care of her today told us that they had taken the tube out last night at about 3:30 a.m. and at 5:00 am. her stats started to drop so they put the tube back in. She id ok still but is not making such great progress she has the last week. They took her chest tube out last night too but that might have to be put back too. On a happier note they have upped her feeding amount from 7 cms to 9 cms and should be up to 15 cms. by the end of today and she seems to be tolerating the feedings very well. She is peeing and pooping regularly and seems to be draining the fluid in her chest. We just need her to drain a lot more. I am just taking one thing at a time. I still want her to come home way bad, but I want her to be healthy before she comes home. I think we just thought it would be sooner rather than later. It also puts you back on the frame of mind that she is very sick and she is human. It kind of puts things back into perspective. I just worry that she is in pain or that she will start going backwards instead of forwards, I shouldn't think like this because she has never had any set backs before today. It just is hard to not have her with me.
