Hannah has continues to do well & take small steps forward. She is now being slowly weaned off the ventilator & is currently managing 1 - 1 1/2hrs off at a time. She continues to have periods of apnoea (forgetting to breath) but these are getting less.
They are also slowly reducing her pain medication (Fentanyl) by 0.1ml per day (has been on 1.2ml/day). This means she is becoming more alert & able to focus her eyes more.
She is also increased in the amount of breastmilk she is receiving via the NG tube. She is currently up to 25ml every 3hrs. In conjunction with this they are reducing the amount of IV nutrition she is receiving.
Her kidneys continue to not work, but all tests & scans show that everything is normal with them, so it is just a matter of waiting until they decide to kick in again. At the moment they are pausing the dialysis for a few hours each day & giving her Lasix (diuretic) to try & give them a nudge. We would ask that you really make this a focus of prayer.
