Downward

Rebekah's lungs are more "wet" today and she is retaining fluid. They were hoping to extubate her today but the extra fluid causes swelling in her throat so they can't now. She had a fairly scary moment this morning where they have her sedation medication and her heart rate plummeted and several doctors, residents, nurses, respiratory therapists and heart specialists rushed in. They had to go back up in her breathing support. They also gave her some more meds. Then they did another heart echo and are saying she has left heart failure. They are giving meds for that now too. She's getting steroids to open her airway. She is on so many meds I can't remember them all. My older daughter is with me because she started being homeschooled this week. I am feeling a bit more stressed now, probably from lack of sleep so my mom is coming to see me.
