Little update on Grace

Quick update tonight...no major changes-Grace's color is back to normal and some of her medication is being weaned. The issue of her heart being enlarged has been determined to be a pre-existing condition, caused by the chronic lung disease from the ventilators. She will likely outgrow the problem, but we can now follow up with a cardiologist. A culture is being done for a secondary infection of pneumonia. We should have all culture results on Sunday. Grace definitely showed a little improvement today, so hopefully tomorrow will show even more. She has had her pediatrician in to visit several times, as well as nurses from the NICU. I am expected to go down to the NICU a couple times a day now to update everyone there:) Her doctors here are amazing-they are so thorough and patient. We really appreciate everyone's prayers-after all the miracles we have seen, we expect big things to happen when people pray for Grace! We have no idea how long Grace will be in the hospital...we do have a new dog at home and are hoping someone can care for him while we are here. We will be staying at the hospital night and day until Grace comes home. More updates when anything changes....
