Day 90 (this is the right number FINALLY)

So I got completely side tracked on how many days we have been here... I checked her charts today to confirm. It is 90 days so back on blogging track..

Bella is getting another blood transfusion today. Luckily Nurse Lindsay was able to get her IV in on the first try. A true blessing for Bella! We are waiting on blood to arrive now. Note to self donate MUCH blood to blood bank to replace what we have taken...Once the transfusion starts she will be NPO (without food) during and 12 hours following. We are hoping the transfusion assists with helping her to oxygenate and her heart rate to come down a bit. She is still on 85 % oxygen and her sats are all over the place. One minute she is at 90 then the next moment she drops into the 60's... One of our favorite Dr's is on this week so it will be exciting to see what game plan he has for her. They were able to also drop her rate on the vent to 37 today, had a great blood gas as well.

Again we are celebrating the week of the 3's!!! Dylan turns 3 years, Bella turns 3 months AND weighs 3 pounds...

Much love to all
