Afternoon update



Alex is doing ok, but having some respiratory issues. She's receiving nebulizer treatments and the nurses continue to suction her out which gets her good and "pissed off". She also has another urinary tract infection so they plan to keep her in the PICU for now. She's been in and out of sleep most of the day and the nurses are trying to stay on top of her pain.

On a lighter note, a local radio station (Alice) is doing a radioathon live from the hospital called 36 hours for kids and they brought by a little build-a-bear for Alex that is so cute. Check out her bed head :o

sweet hair-do! That's going to be one of those pics that embarasses her at some point down the road! You guys are constantly in my thoughts and prayers! Hope she continues to get better and better.

Her hair looks "pissed off" too! Hang in there you two. We can't stop thinking about all of you and wish we were there for some moral and spirtual support!

It is great news that she got off the ventilator so quickly--it took my daughter well--she still is not off the vent since her decompression surgery. Still praying she will recover quickly and the problems will be fixed.

That bear "Alexa" really is special! Just like Alex.
