Morning Rounds

Todays rounds with the medical team was short and sweet. They want to keep Jane nice and comfortable and not make very many changes with her. There is talk of placing her in an incubator because she has some issues regulating her temperature because she is so small. When she is too hot or too cold her homeostasis is thrown off, which sends her blood pressure and heart rate on a roller coaster. I’m reminded of all our body systems, how they work together perfectly, and how I go about my day not even having to think about it…but sweet Jane is much too fragile right now and still needs some help regulating all of the fine details. Her liver has not shown much improvement so they are starting her back on a cardiac med to help with circulation and prevent any more backup to her liver. The doc said it will be interesting to see what her liver ultrasound looks like tomorrow. Personally, I wouldnt call it “interesting”….but thats just me. I was curious why they placed another PICC line yesterday since she isnt on enough meds to need two lines. The doc told me they want to remove another line that is near her heart and once they do that (hopefully tomorrow) then she can be in our arms. If thats the case, I thought, put as many PICC lines as you want!!! In the next day or so hopefully her Papa can hold her and squeeze her, too. 🙂
