A better day


The swelling (air was in all of her tissues from the leak in her lungs)is finally going down. Check out the bruise...one of the blood transfusions didn't go so well.




Alyvia was moved from the P ICU to the Nuero trauma unit floor. ( NTU) Her lumbar drain still seems to be working pretty well, its not leaking so thats a good sign. She is draining quite a bit of spinal fluid, so hopefully she won't have any more pressure in her brain. She is trying really hard to talk, but just can't seem to get the words out, however she did say NO again. (One of her favorite words!) Today she seems even a little better than yesterday. (:

Hey guys, we are so glad to hear about the good days. We hope and pray that Alyvia keeps moving in the right direction. She is a sweet girl and Emily will love playing with her when you get back home.

Hi there. This is Anne Pearson, Jen and Justins sister in law. I met you for a minute when we were there visiting Ian and just wanted to say congrats on Alyvia moving forward. She's a beautiful little girl...like her mommy. We'll be following your blog and praying for her recovery.
