Taking It All In Stride

Today was the first day she walked.

All the necessary equipment.

Her oxygen tube was exchanged for a smaller, less bothersome one.  Her dopamine (which keeps her blood pressure up) has been weaned from 14 to 0, in hopes that the dopamine has been the cause of her junctional heart rhythm.  So far, so good.  Now we wait and watch the monitor...the monitor we can't take our eyes off of.  And you know what's scary to watch?  When the doctors come in and start changing up the settings on her pacemaker (as you watch said monitor, of course), and the numbers go crazy..  That's enough to make me need my own.

The cutest loop-de-doos ever.

She spent a good portion of the morning painting some cute figurines that they brought her...and eventually decided it was fun to paint my hand...twice.  There's also been a few instances of the classic Camdyn Stinker Face.  I'm so happy to see the stinker face.  She's teased a few of the doctors and nurses a few times today, too.  Our girl is slowly becoming more herself again.

Some art time for my little artist!

Thank you for your continued prayers!  Please pray for her foot cramps to completely stop, her heart to pace itself with a normal rhythm, and her blood pressure to stabilize.  Please also pray for her spirits to keep lifting and continued determination.  Thank you, friends!!
