Day 10- Miranda's blood gases were good last night but throughout the day her blood gases were not good so they had to increase the settings on the vent today. They are talking about putting her back on the oscillator. They increased her dopamine again today because blood pressure was dropping. She had her UAC pulled today and they placed an ART line in her right foot. The ART line is for drawing blood and monitoring her blood pressure. The nurses and doctors heard a heart murmur today, so they are going to do a echo cardiogram and consult a cardiologist. On a good note Miranda's kidneys are working good.



Audrey and Michael are able to help change Miranda's diaper, take her temperature and clean her mouth when they visit daily.
