The next day they did a CT scan to check her brain to see if there was any damage considering she was gone for 17 min. Thankfully it came back normal, again.
Feb 12 she got the chest tubes out the drainage from her lungs has slowed down.
Feb 13 today was a step forward then a step back. today they ended the study early because the blanket wasn't really working and Makenzie was alert and the nurse didn't think she needed it. They also decided to take the breathing tube out to see how she does with out it. At midnight they had to put the chest tubes back in cause her lungs where filling up with fluid she started breathing heavy for a few hours so at 4 am they put the breathing tube back in to help her breath her oxygen levels where dropping so they wanted to get it in before something worse happens, it was another long day and night.
Feb 14th they decided to do another CT scan to check for blood clots in the brain and lungs another miracle there was no signs of anything. Also that night Jerica came to help out with Braxton Because the next day Tyler flew back home so he could get back to work someone has to still pay bills.
Feb 15th today Tyler flew back early to get back to work it was hard to let him leave. It was also a big day they took out the breathing tube I was really nervous about that but she did good they also took out the left chest tube. She responded well and was alert and new who every one was so that was some good signs of no brain damage. She also walked a little and even went to the potty it was so nice to see my little girl.
It was an amazing week to watch her improve everyday and slowly come off machines and wein down on her meds. Just to see her eyes open may be taken for granted but when your child goes through something like that and you call her name and she looks at you, your heart rejoices to know that she remembers you and knows your voice is a miracle in its self.
