Today wasn't too eventful which I guess is a good thing. We would have liked for her to have had some huge step forward. But we are happy with her small improvements for now. She was really tired today so she wasn't as alert but did respond to people talking to her. Her ventilator is turned down very low so she is close to being extibated. She still has some fluid around her lungs from her kidney not working. So she will have dialysis again in the morning to help get rid of some of the fluid. And hopefully that will get her breathing even better and then maybe she can get off of the ventilator.
Her liver numbers have come way down so we are very happy about that. Most of her issues right now are linked to her kidney not working so we are anxious for it to start. With her just having one kidney it might take some time. When Caleb had his liver transplant 20 years ago his kidney stopped working too. It took 3 weeks for it to start working again so we will wait patiently.
Right now we are happy that Abby is making progress and that she is able to communicate a little bit more with us. She will shake or nod her head to answer our questions and she will mouth words. She is still a little uncomfortable but they are trying to stay on top of the pain management.
That is really it for today, thanks to all who have prayed for Abby and keep them coming we need that kidney to start working.
