November 19: notes

Ava urinated 5mLs. She seems to do this when she is moved around a lot at 4am for her daily chest X-ray, labs and bath. I asked about maybe doing a bladder scan to double check if any urine made, was making it out. The nurse said she'd do one at 4am.

Her afternoon spontaneous breathing trial did not go as well as the one before. She only lasted about 10-15 minutes before getting tachypneic.  She will have a trial every shift to build strength. 

LDH was down a tiny bit, not the big jump I was hoping for. 

Platelets are just barely holding above 50. Below 50, she gets a transfusion. 

Fentanyl was weaned to 1.5. 

Vicky and I made 2 nice cards with a "stampin' up" volunteer group and the ronald mcdonald house and then got a 15 min massage from a volunteer massage therapist. It was lovely.
