Frankie

From her web site:

CaringBridge.org – francescafrisone: “Frankie came down somewhat on the oxygen but did not make much progress during the night. The high flow system she is on delivers the oxygen like Cpap, a more forceful way to deliver oxygen, opening the alveoli in her lungs. She is still in 4 liters at now 55%.
We had to increase the diuretics(up on the lasix drip, added diuril, then upped the frequency). I withheld her feeds since 2am and we barely broke even in her ins and outs. The sad thing is she did not even mind not eating. She remains subdued, not really interested in drinking. Less fighting when people examine her. Her x-ray was not improved. She is not dry enough. My impression is that her heart is not able to pump effectively to perfuse the other organs. If kidneys are not addequately perfused they do not work well. She had an ECHO today to confirm or disprove my theory. “

I’m so worried about this little one. The news this week has never been encouraging. Please continue to pray!
