Day 8 in the PICU

6:55 PM - Connor was waiting to pull Kristina.

I put Kristina in and Nicole grabbed the handle.

The IV's pumps are all black today, yea!
This morning Kristina was getting her two lung tube pressure bandage changed and needed to be held down, needless to say she that set the mood for the next couple of hours.
She drank in bed 2 ozs of PediaSure, her favorite.
Kristina sat in the highchair and drank a little more Pedasure, she wanted nothing to do with her 4oz OG laced with Miralax, so her nurse got another dose with 2oz PediaSure.
We took her for another ride in the wagon, she likes to get out of the room and look around.
After we played some in bed with some of her favorite touching toys, and she gave out a few words.
Judy Heggen, D.O. Pediatric Intensivist checked in at noon and was optimistic that there is more weakness than damage, we will know more after the MRI Tuesday.
We think she has had enough laxative to clear a small elephant, and still no #2, but she is giving us plenty of gas.
1:00-She is sleeping good for now

5:00-Kristina starting talking to us again.

Kristina was eating in a highchair with a little help.

Tomorrow- MRI is scheduled,

and the Physical Therapists will get started on her.
