Sweet Bella didn't have a great night but it wasn't as bad as the night before. Still today her stats are down in the 70's but we are hoping and praying it is because they have had to do quite a few things with her this morning. She got a new IV in her tiny arm, she will get a 2nd one later today. They are hoping to remove her catheter in her belly that is her central line for meds and blood infusions. They believe that because of the infection the catheter is causing her platelettes to clump and stick to it. She received a platelette infusion this morning so hopefully this helps.Her skin is just getting better day by day, it is amazing at the progression. Our primary day nurse, Susan, said she had not seen skin that bad on a preemie in her 35 years of nursing. Such a blessing to have her over come this. We are awaiting her blood culture results to see where we are at with battling the yeast infection in her blood.
It warms our hearts to no end to see her little feautures start to develop. Even as tiny as she is she has the longest eye lashes and defined eye brows. Her little button nose is the cutest thing ever. We have lots of pictures that we hope to post over the weekend.
We cannot rave enough about Team Bella here at Centennial. Not only do they have the expertise but they also have lots of heart and faith. They truly believe in miracles..
Our thoughts and words are rich with trust and thankfulness today.
Love to you all
Dylan and Bella's Mommy
Hey, guys. It's Erin Landers (Jim's wife) and Freeman sent us the link to your blog. I am so, so sad to hear about the tough time little Bella is having, but it sounds like y'all have a great team over there who is taking good care of you all. Bella sounds like a strong fighter and I know every second you get with her seems like a blessing. We will be praying for you guys that you get millions more of those seconds with her and will also be keeping up with you through your blog. I look forward to seeing pictures of your sweet girl.
ReplyDeleteThank you our father for keeping your tiny angel here on earth and allowing all to witness the power of daily miracles. Our heart rejoice each day that your all powerful hands hold this sweet little girl in your hands and the angels wrap their ever so gentle wings around her and her family.
