Today's Plan

I spent almost 3 hours at Anna's side this morning. She was quite active at times but her vitals remain stable. I did not plan on spending that amount of time but time just flew.

Anna and I were visited by the other priest from the Parish. He read the article this morning that was in the Lima News and wanted to co me and see our little miracle for himself. He said a beautiful prayer for Anna and blessed her.

She has not been seem by the Dr. yet today but the nurse practitioner did her assessment and I was there. Here are the details. Her hemoglobin was low so she will receive some blood product, they are going to reduce the medications that have been raising her blood pressure, the fentanyl will be decreased which is the drug that has been keeping her sedated. They are going to focus more on reducing the meds than changing the ventilator settings. We are still in the process of weaning from the the vent but we are a few days away from actually extabating the tube.
