It's morning!

It is 8:55 am and Kasi has once again dozed off for a little bit. Which is good! She did have a pretty good night, although she was getting sick once in a while.
Kasi is having to be rotated quite a bit and when she is rotated it causes a lot of pain. Also, she gets a bit of nausea because she has lost a lot of blood. They keep checking her blood levels and at this time she does have numbers for a transfusion, but because she is young they are holding off to see if her body will catch up. Because of her blood loss she gets dizzy and her heart rate is a little high. This just makes being awake and moved hard.
She has only used her pain button 2 times. It is not because she is in extreme pain as much as she is really uncomfortable. She is a very, very strong little lady! It is amazing the perseverance she is showing. She amazes me!
Today we are looking at her getting casted for a brace. This might cause a little bit of pain, okay a lot, so pray for her and that process. As soon as she gets the brace they really want to start moving her a little more. Right now she can't be up at all.
Kasi said she is feeling pretty good. She is very stiff and that is because she if swollen all over. Her oxygen is off for the first time and she is doing pretty good, but is on the border to having it put back on. On room air her O2 sats drop which means she is not taking deep enough breaths. I know that the respiratory therapist will be in here today and start helping with that.
I think that is all for now. We are still in the PICU and I don't think we are moving anytime soon.
Thank you again for taking Kasi before the thrown of God. He is amazing and does amazing things. I am looking forward to see Him at work once again today!
