Chloe update: The edema (swelling) in her head and chest has been going down over the past week and she is looking so much better. The doctors have decided that since the edema has gone down to an acceptable level that they are going to start weaning her on the vent tomorrow. The moves they will be making are small moves so they dont rush her and set her back. The doctors tell us that this process can take months and once we see how she is handling the weaning process we will have a more accurate timeline of when to expect to come home. She has been on lasix once a day to help reduce her swelling and will be going to once every other day now. She is also a little potassium chloride deficient so they will be making adjustments to her medications to accommodate this.
