The Doctor's Update Day 7

While resting in my room, Dr. Romero visited to provide an update on Anna's care plan. It was very similar to what the nurse practitioner had stated earlier. Some additional things that are going to occur: They are going to give her medication to reduce her swelling. The doctor stated that we are going to see her "shrink". He stated that they will continue to get blood gasses and make some changes to the pressure in the vent. He also stated that she is going to be more awake and that this is a good thing although she will be moving around quite a bit. This is a slow process and we are still at least a few days away from no vent. No vent means that we can hold our little girl, the moment that I have and continue to be longing for.

Jess and David (Lissie and Jill too),

We wanted you to know that we have added your family and especially your miracle baby to a prayer vine we are part of. We figured since you know how powerful prayers can be that you would want as many as possible for Anna Marie. There can never be too many.
