Riley has been doing well. She's come off of all her medication from her IV tree, and the nitric that they were giving her. And all her numbers have looked good too. We were hoping to move to the step-down unit this week or weekend, but that didn't happen. Unfortunately, her xrays showed that her left lung isn't looking good again, so she's back on her Bi-PAP mask. But she's handling it and the extra therapy they're trying to open up that lung. They brought in a machine for her albuterol treatment that basically percussively pushes air into her. I wasn't sure what she would think of it, but she did fine! Sara and the boys are coming down for the weekend after trick-or-treating, and I'm sure that will perk her up.

Please pray that her lungs will open up and stay open so that we can move out of the CICU.

Thanks!

PS - Riley is dressed as Stitch for Halloween, but she looks miserable in the picture I took, so just picture it in your head.
