Britney had a good day. They continue to wean her from ECMO. They lungs are taking more of the oxygenating on by using the ventilator more, and her heart is doing most of the work now. As she continues to show that her heart and lungs are able to take over she may go to the OR tomorrow to get off ECMO. It will not be today. Her body continues to fight her ventilator pneumonia and is doing well with it. The dialysis is also going well. Her kidneys are still making good urine also. Her vascular surgeon said she might not lose any toes only a few toenails which may grow back completely. She was biting her breathing tube alot this morning and had to get a bite block in. She has been moving a lot today and continues to blink. She has been looking around a little. She has had a lot more pain medicine and sedation these last few days also and has been more sleepy. Thank you all for following the blog so closely. We went to church today and had so many people ask about her. Jonas and Vera got to play and be with their kid classes. It was a good break and rejuvinating to be at church. We love you all.
