Hasbro. Day 6 -- NO 02! 9:15pm

Great news today.. as of 3pm this afternoon, Grace was off oxygen!!

The doctor has been saying this week that she didn't think she needed even to

be on it.  Of course, if they give her morphine (for the gtube pain), because

it's a sedative, they do put her oxygen up a little.  Which is what they did

tonight, once we had left.  So, as of me writing this, she's back up to 1/4 % of 02,

but they are definitely weaning her OFF.. which most likely means

she will come home with NO OXYGEN!! YEA!!!!!!!!!!!

With everything that has happened to our poor little Gracie in the last

week, we really needed something positive to happen..and this is it!!

Here she is today, sleeping on Mama.. I held her for awhile & then Daddy held her too!!

She was up for a little while tonight.. so we caught this picture!!

Gracie's g-tube area was bothering her tonight, causing some high blood pressures, so they did give her some morphine..and she's sleeping & stable now.

The g-tube mic button is still out, as we are waiting for the stoma to close.  This area was so infected, it's just taking time for the tissue to heal.

In the meantime, speech therapist is in to see her & she is seeing PT & OT.

A cardiologist was in to see Grace today, with results from yesterdays Echo..

her heart sometimes has 'off' arithima..however, he said the echo looked good & there's no worry at this point.  He thinks that maybe the low heart rates is really just from the body recovering from such shock.. from this episode.

We got a thoughtful dinner made from one of Gary's co-workers..

Carmen made us a lasagna, garlic bread, green beans & gave us the stuff for strawberry shortcake!! So thoughtful. Thanks, Carmen!

It was nice to get the call that that was waiting for us.  We will have it for dinner tomorrow night, and freeze some lasagna!

Tomorrow's an early day.. we like to be there for rounds..

Auntie Tess visits Gracie when she works.. it's good for Grace & her mom & dad!!

Thanks everyone for your extra prayers..

Gracie is looking better everyday..

now if we can just all figure out the gtube area!!

Love,

pattie & gary, Gracie & maxwell
