Well, we had a small setback (sort of) yesterday evening. They said that Natalie's pressures were getting a little high while she was coming off of the paralytic, so they put her back on it. This is normal, as they usually will take children off the paralytic just to see how the body reacts. She is still doing well; better than expected, actually. So, everyone is still happy about her recovery thus far. It's hard for Heidi and I to see her unable to move, and just completely knocked out; but, it's what is best for her.
They hope to try to discontinue the paralytic again sometime tomorrow, after she has lost more fluid, which will reduce the pressure on her heart. This will help her pressures to be lower as she begins to move and slowly wake up. It's a long process with a minor setback here and there. The doctors say she is still doing extremely well, and they are encouraged by her recovery. So, there probably won't be too much news to share before later tomorrow, but we'll be sure to keep everyone posted.
It's raining really hard here today, but it's kinda' warm. It's almost 50 degrees, so that's much better than what the weather is back in ND; so I hear. We found a gym close by, so that gives us something to do on these uneventful days. Thanks for the prayers and for keeping up with us.
Here are a couple of new pictures.
