We got to see Skye again today. We went to spend some time with Ethan and Coral and to also take Coral to see baby. Luckily, security at the hospital takes them back and forth from the hospital to the Ronald McDonald house upon request 24 hours a day! The house is just a few blocks away, but that is still not doable after a c-section, and there is a hill involved!
Skye is still stable and in the acceptable ranges for all the monitors. Her heart is operating better than it did yesterday. They do ultrasounds every day or every other day on different areas to check how she is doing as far as the ECMO goes. They adjusted the ECMO line after seeing that it wasn't quite in the right place, and this made her heart much happier. I guess it was putting the blood right back to her heart instead of into her body, so now it is putting the blood into her body.
Her intestines are up in the area where one of her lungs is supposed to be. They think that lung is small, they just don't know how small yet, so please pray that it isn't too small or that it has a chance to get better. I don't know how all that works yet.....
We plan to get together with them again tomorrow afternoon to just hang out at the RM house and we will bring the boys with us because Ethan was wanting to see them since he has only seen them a couple of times! What a good uncle! :)
Unfortunately, Ethan is going back to Montana Monday evening. He hopes to be able to visit periodically, but work obligations and the money factor are calling. Fortunately, Coral's mom is here to next weekend.
Skye is one sick little girl, so we really need a miracle, but nothing is impossible with God!
