Day 3 of Life

I did not see Maggie today, but here is what I know. Today's goal was, "Stay the course." And that is absolutely what Maggie did. She is still off the ventilator and doing very well. Another praise update is on Tuesday night, the Dr's were concerned Maggie might be having seizures due some leg movements she was having while being sedated. They went ahead and gave her anti-seizure medication as it is better to medicate, and find out later if it was really a seizure. The test to see if Maggie had a seizure, showed no seizure activity! And she even did the happy leg dance movement while they were testing her. This is good news as seizures are an indication of brain damage.

Biggest news today, that I know of, is they took the urinary catheter out because Maggie's urine output was so good, they didn't need to monitor it so closely. And Mommy got to change a very wet diaper!! They also took an IV out of her hand, so she is looking less like a ball of spaghetti from all the tubes, and more of a healthy newborn baby.

Please continue to pray. God is answering our prayers and saying, "Yes." I know my prayer life has changed a lot since Maggie was born, and I love knowing that my Savior is so close, and I can intercede for Maggie at any time. We Praise our Great God who is Bigger than the Air we breathe...He created the air we breathe!
