PICU day 4 - less crisis a little calm

Today was a calm day. Emylie is still sedated and on a paralytic. She sleeps and sleeps. She continues to run a fever. Her chest xray from this morning shows she has a pleural effusion on both the left and right side. She had a small one on the right side earlier in the week, it went away and now it is on both sides. The dr decided to give her a diaretic because she is not getting enough fluid out. They are hoping they will see the pleural effusions go down as a result of the diaretic also. I believe it was in the afternoon that they decreased the paralytic medication by half to allow her to have small movements. Overall it was a day of resting for her.
My sister, sister-in-law, brother, Dayna and the Edens all came to visit which was really nice. My oldest brother lives down south and is a paramedic, he had to bring someone to Primary's and tried to stop by and see Emylie but it was after visiting hours so they wouldn't allow him to go in.
Thank you for all your prayers for Emylie. I know the Lord is listening!
