Yesterday was not quite the news we were hoping for. Leah's liver numbers had gone up again, so they needed to do a liver biopsy. They decided that since they were doing the biopsy, they were also going to drain some fluid around the right lung. They did intubate again, but were able to extubate as soon as the procedure was finished. We were glad for that. Her results from the biopsy showed that there is rejection. This is not uncommon. They will treat her with steroids to stay ahead of it. She started her first dose today. As far as the lungs, not a lot has changed. Her x-rays are still showing that the right lung is still collapsed in the lower part. She does great when not on the bi-pap machine. Her oxygen levels are very good. They decided to put her on a high flow cannula instead, to see if she can work at getting her lung to open. They did an ultra sound today, but we still haven't heard if they know why her right lung is taking so long to heal. They did remove some fluid yesterday, but not as much as they thought. We are glad to see that she doesn't have to wear the bi-pap machine anymore. She was not very happy with it. We are still in the PICU, but as soon as her lung looks better, they plan to move us. We are able to hold her a few times throughout the day, which we enjoy. She also has PT and OT once a day. Today they had a dog visit and also someone who does music therapy. We know we are on the road to recovery, but some days seem long when we don't see a lot of change. Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. -I Thess 5:16-18
