It's been 16 hours since Ashtyn's breathing tube has been taken out. She has been very sleepy and seems delirious. Throughout the night her eyes rarely opened and she frequently babbles with incoherent speech. The doctors believe she is still improving though it may not seem as noticeable. Her morning labs showed that her liver is doing good but her kidneys are struggling from not getting enough oxygen during her shock period. When her kidney's don't function properly, her body is unable to get rid of fluid which is effecting her lungs. Also her body isn't able to get rid of the sedation she got in the past which makes it more difficult to wake up. Ashtyn would benefit a great deal if her kidneys would start recovering. Prayers for the day: 1. that her kidneys will start to recover allowing her body to get rid of fluid that is effecting the lungs, and decrease wastes that are building up, preventing the need for dialysis. 2. that she will become more awake and alert. 3. that she will stay free of complications so the healing process will continue. The healthcare team are all still very pleased with how well she's doing 😊 Thank you!
