Just wanted to give a quick update. I'll try to at least give short updates as much as I can. Molly is still on dialysis. They are able to finally pull fluid off of her. Her blood pressure is tolerating it. Dopamine has been weaned to 4 mc/hr. She is still on norepinephrine. I think they want to wean dopamine completely off before the norepi.
Her blood gases have been terrible yesterday and today. Her CO2 is 90. We want that to be less than 60. They are not making any vent changes because her settings are already pretty high. Any higher and her lungs could pop basically. So, we just wait and see if she corrects it on her own. I'm hoping pulling more fluid off will help with this also. They will be checking her heart and eyes for fungal functions. They are doing blood, urine, and trach cultures and started her on vancomycin today, but keeping a close eye on her levels. She is still on an anti-fungal.
She is making urine on her own and pooped twice, which is amazing.
We need prayers for Molly. Please pray that her blood gases get better. That's probably the most worrisome thing right now. I'll try to update if anything else pops up.
As always, thank you for reading and praying. Thank you to all who supported us on Saturday and to everyone who donated their time and made donations. Thank you to Nicole for helping organize everything. I love you sistah souljah.
