Sammy is *out* of PICU and Closer to HOME
Monday, December 26, 2005 at 01:37 PM EST
We're back in A6 South.
Sam is tolerating her feeds well, which is good;
this will help get the belly back in gear.
Her BP is still running a bit high at times, so she's getting some meds
for that -- it's likely kidney-related.
Her mental status continues to improve daily.
Her antibiotics are finished, so the central line will be coming out soon;
right now they're still using it for some meds, so she doesn't have to
take them all orally, which would probably make her vomit.
And yes, Chantelle, tell Quinlan that Santa is amazingly flexible --
Sam has gifts waiting at home, plus received some here,
including a couple Barbie dolls, a big Pooh bear, miniature horses,
Weebles, cars, books, an outfit, and Lego Mega blocks.
Let's hope Sam has a short, uneventful stay in Building A,
so we can go home.
Thanks,
Jessica

Sounds like Santa brough a sleigh-full to Sammy's room!!
Prayers that the stay in A6 is short and gets you ready for
the Trip HOME!
