Gotta Get Rid of That Fluid!!!

Shelby went to see the surgeon today. She still has a pocket of fluid in her lung. They have increased her lasix again in hopes of drying up the fluid. The stitches came out and she says "I didn't even cry!" She is such a brave and strong girl. She will go back to the Dr next Friday for another check. Pray that it will be cleared up so she can her her saturation level where it needs to be.

Took a trip today...got a good report!

Shelby went to the cardiologist for a check up today. He says the heart looks good , that the surgery looks good and everything is working as it should. However, her saturation levels are still not up to where they would like for them to be, due in part to fluid still in her lung. They changed her meds around some to help move the fluid out and feel like with that, and increased activity, it should take care of it. Continue to pray that the lungs clear and her oxygen levels come up. Praise the Lord for His goodness and mercy, we are so thankful for His healing power.

Kickin' back with Dad

Shelby is doing better each day, gaining strength a little at a time. The family is enjoying all the great meals being brought by church friends and family. Shelby still has some congestion and at times runs a low grade fever. The doctors say that is normal considering all that she has had done. We are looking forward to a great Mother's Day weekend.

Slow and Steady

Shelby is doing well, she had a fair night. She woke up once with tummy pain. Today she is running a low grade fever and still feeling very weak. The slightest activity just makes her feel exhausted. Pray for her continued healing and recovery of her strength. We want to see a smile back on that face!
