Raena did her usual spike of the day and it took the doctors a good 1.5 hrs to calm her down. BP and heart rate all went up and surprisingly her ICP shot to 30 :/
Her lungs today were a bit cloudy in the xray so they have increased antibiotics to make sure she doesn’t develop pneumonia. She also has a small lesion on her back that they are supposed to try and treat today, it could be a bed sore or a scratch from the routine morning x-rays.
She is on a high salt content drip for electrolytes and they are reducing that so they can feed her some other nutrients. There is also talk of possibly removing the EEG monitoring and taking all the wires off her head so they don’t cause any burns on her face or head from the electrodes she’s hooked up to.
Her temperature also dropped to 91 or 92 today and they spent a while warming her back up to 95.6 again. Not sure why the nurse on staff let it get so low, but Nikki and I are always watching her vitals and quick to get a nurse if something is not optimum.
Thank you to all who are constantly reading this blog, I had to purchase a new server plan due to such a high volume of traffic to this one site, so hopefully for those that experienced difficulty getting on the site today, you won’t have any more issues.
I will be updating things as the night goes on, visitors are still welcome, just no one under 14 and no large groups. They want the room to stay relatively quiet so if you want to see her feel free to come by. Again, just text me so I can plan accordingly to keep large groups from forming.

Checking everyday from Beijing, China. Reading all your updates, you have one heck of a tough, strong willed, beautiful girl! What a fighter! Prayers to you all for her rest and comfort, and for her to be able to wake up soon. Hugs!
Thanks for the update.
We haven’t met. My daughter will attend moffett next year for kindergarten, and I’ve lived in the area for 32 years. I’m praying for your daughter and family. So sorry for all that you’re going through.
