Evelyn was unfortunately not able to get her breathing tube taken out today. Her right heart function has decreased some, so the team is going to focus on giving her more diuretics to help remove the extra fluid from her body and decrease the fluid overload on her heart. Once they are able to get that under better control, they can work toward extubating her, hopefully tomorrow.
This is a marathon, not a race. As badly as we want to see our little girl’s beautiful eyes and hear her voice again, we know this has to be done safely and only when her body is truly ready for it. Right now the goal is steady, safe progress, one step at a time. Please continue to keep Evelyn in your prayers as she keeps fighting her way forward.
