As expected, today was a day of rest for Kenzie. We had some good news with the ortho doc earlier. Her foot is getting very good blood supply today and is nice and pink. Given this we may decide to forego the amputation for now and use an orthodic to support her leg. If it would increase her quality of life later, we will persue the amputation. Of course tomorrow is another day and when they get in the leg again things may change. More muscle may need to be removed etc. Today her numbers monitoring her kidney elevated slightly not great news. Fluids surrounding her heart and lungs were also higher. We hope after closing the surgical sites tomorrow will help to lower those levels and the team can move forward again. In anticipation of tomorrows surgery they decided not to take her off the ventilator but her values were reduced throughout the day.

For now.....
