Maria is stable, but continues to require oxygen. This morning it was down to 60% and when we left last night it was at 70%. So that is an improvement. Her levels were remaining at 95% plus or minus and still are.
They are not going to do the lung wash because they think it could set her back, and they want her to step forward. They are looking at cultures and want to lood at them for the next 48 hours before deciding if they should do the lung wash (not correct term). Her lngs are "weepy" so they don't want to make more fluid there. They will be more aggressive at getting fluids off, however her kidneys are working well.
From culture results they may play with the antibiotics. She hs running a fever of 100 plus a little up and down that they keep checking on. The team of drs. are watching over her and considering options. It was Dr. Wolfe's partner that talked with us today, and he says they want to give her time to improve and that is better than rushing in and doing something that could set her back. (not his exact words)
Noylen is doing incredibly well, and it has been good for both of us that she is here. Please pray for her, too, cause the past couple of days have been very hard for her.
