Another day in the P ICU



Alyvia is still in the P ICU, she has the lumbar drain in, it is getting rid of the extra spinal fluid she had in her head, so now hopefully she won't have any pressure on her brain. The drain started to leak though, so the re-sutured it in place and hopefully it won't leak anymore or Livie will most likely have to get a shunt put in her brain. She hasn't stopped breathing for 2 days, so thats a plus!! (They think it had to do with the pressure on her brain or a narcotic reaction....) We've been able to feed Livie and she just loves it!! She has also gained some weight!! (:
(She got REALLY skinny from being so sick)
She also tried to talk today, she said NO, and the nurse last night swears Livie was trying to say Mommy. She still hasn't smiled, and sometimes when her eyes are open she just seems so far away. But she is in there, hopefully her brain can heal and she can be Alyvia again. I am really missing her cute little personality, but I really do think she will come around....
