Overall Courtney had a good day. Probably late tomorrow they will take Courtney (with her train of ECMO, ventilator, IV poles, etc.) down to imaging to get a head CT scan. Her right lung looks good and her left lung is slightly better than yesterday. Tonight they are going to start putting the absolute minimum of nutrition into her stomach to see if they can trigger any intestinal response over the next couple of days. She has had nothing but IV - tpn since she's been here. No progress on her kidneys. Still...our turtle is inching forward!
7:00 AM
Courtney had another "uneventful" night. We will know a little more about the plans for the day once the doctors do the rounds later this morning. They will continue to tweak the vent settings to work on recovering her lungs and perform the remainder of the tests that did not get completed yesterday.
On a separate note, please keep my Dad in your prayers as he gets the results of his PET scan this morning.
