We are encouraged today. Kenzie's chest x-ray is looking much clearer than yesterday so being back on the vent has been good. Her right lung was collapsing in spots but now seems to be filling again with the additional support. She began receiving feedings to the area below her stomach today through a transpyloric line (TP tube) hope this will increase her energy for less support on the ventilator when they begin to wean her down again. Her white blood cell count was a bit higher this morning we still await yesterday's cultures to determine the cause of this. Drains were removed from her right leg and the remaining one from her abdomen. Some tubes out some tubes in. We're breaking even on the day!
