Our little peanut is 7 months old today. She decided to scare the crap out of her parents (again) for her birthday. We got to the hospital this morning and the respiratory tech was bagging Molly. The problem she seemed to be having was bronchospasms, sort of like an asthma attack but different. Ha. They ended up bagging her for 3 hours and tried almost every mode they could on the vent. For a moment I thought they were going to bring out the oscillator, but they didn't. So, now she is on continuous albuterol and they had to paralyze her with a stronger paralytic (vec which is rough on her liver). Earlier, she wasn't moving any air at all in her lungs, now she is. I was scared.
Anyway, onto other things. We should know if Dr. O was able to get funding for the omegaven tomorrow. Supposedly. Her liver pretty much is staying stable. Her belly girth is up to 55cm. She is peeing good though!
Some prayer requests: please pray that Molly can get the omegaven here in Dallas. I don't know if she can handle a transport to Houston right now. Please pray that her belly size goes down. Please pray that her gut gets better as there are currently no bowel sounds.
Thank you everyone.
The picture Is from a "paralytic holiday" she had on Saturday. She lasted 2 hours! It did us good to see her move and open her beautiful eyes.
