Ok, good news at last!!

Ok people, we got a break!
Nan called and told me and Oleyen is doing much better. The ECMO was originally at 60%, and they were able to reduce it to 40% today. Her lungs are responding well, and the oxygen levels are up. She could be weaned from the machine as soon as Monday. She'll probably go into surgery on Wednesday. She has a good prognosis now. Actually, the neatest thing I was told was that Oleyen wakes up often now, looks around and kicks her legs. She interacts with her parents, making eye contact and moving her limbs around. At one point, when they had to change a line or something, they had to sedate her because she was moving around too much. Nan took more pictures and hopefully she'll bring them for me to post by next week. Nan said she has lots of life in her...
