Friday Evening Update

Baby Ansel had a good day. The drug Indomethacin was administered to close the small blood vessel that bypasses the lungs which usually closes after a normal birth. The ventilator is still connected. Ansel is much calmer today and is receiving less sedative.

Kerri is still in the ICU. Maybe tomorrow she will move to a room. Some of the body functions are kicking in, but her kidneys may take a couple of days to come fully on line. She received dialysis again today. Some blood was transfused, and she is resting well. Progress wasn’t as spectacular as yesterday, but Kerri had a good day.

Kerri! It is me again and I just wanted to let you know that I have been checking in on this site (thanks to Cody's family for posting it!!). I emailed all the people that I know you know, it doesn't hurt to have more prayers! :) But, I am glad that you are alright. I don't know if you got my last message on here but my prayers are with you and the baby and if there is ever anything I can do just name it (kindey.. anything!). You will have to thank your dad for emailing me with the info. Oh, and thank Cody for giving you a blessing on the way to the hospital and for taking such good care of you! Here is something to take your mind off of some pain.. you know what I was thinking about today... the time that you got your wisdom teeth pulled! Yep, I remember a groggy Kerri getting up for a drink of water and the water ending up all down the front of you and the floor! But none in your mouth! And a sad but thristy Kerri giggling away. Anyways I just thought I would share my thought with you. Kerrs good luck with everything I love you and pray for your recovery. (and can't believe you are a moma already!)
