She's a Fighter

Today shortly after my last post, McKenna took a turn for the worse. Her heart rate was down and she wasn't breathing on her own much if at all. She had hastled the nurses pretty much all night. Basically everything is working really well with her and she is very active with her arms and legs. The biggest problem she has is her breathing. Her little lungs just weren't ready yet, but with time and patience, she'll be doing good. The biggest issue today was that her lung blood pressure was really high and not allowing blood to get to her lungs. They used the bag on her to inflate her lungs and after that she seemed to be doing really well. We just got news that they did some more testing and her blood gases are good, she's breathing more on her own again, and without a bunch of meds, she pulled through on her own and is doing great again. The doctors told us that she would take 2 steps forward and 1 back. Now we need those 2 really important steps forward. I will add the new pictures of McKenna that we were able to take today. She squeezed our fingers today when we put them in her hands, and she even got to wear daddy's wedding ring. We will let you know any updates as we get them.

Thanks again to everyone for all the prayers we are recieving.
