This morning's update is not so great...Kenzie was put back on the ventilator fearing pneumonia in her right lung.  To avoid further collapse of the lung the decision was made to vent again.  Additionally, her blood cell count numbers came back elevated due to infection, cultures are being grown to determine where the infection is.  Additional plasma will be given to provide support and a new central line was placed fearing the current line was perhaps the cause of infection.  I'm holding my breath through today, hoping tomorrow will be better.
