· Paige update:
I have had the opportunity to visit with Paige twice today. Her blood loss has minimized and is in the less than 10 ml range and appears to be getting under control at this time. Swelling has decreased dramatically since Wednesday with her total body fluid output exceeding input by about 300 ml per day for each of the 2 days.
As the swelling continues to subside, the Doctors, Nurses, and ECMO techs want to see her work to use her heart to start to take over the flow of blood through her body. To quote "The reduction of blood loss and the increase in fluid output with associated reduction in swelling is good. We now need to concentrate on weaning her from ECMO and let her own heart and lungs work to take over". We ask that you Pray for Paige and for the continued reduction in blood loss and continued increase in fluid loss with the attendant reduction in swelling. The most important request for prayer at this moment though is for "pulsatile blood flow". Your continued prayers are requested for this precious little girl. God is listening and answering these prayers as evidenced by her progress in the last 36 hours. Thank you for your prayers! They are sincerely appreciated!

This is from my Dad's facebook and email. I am too tired to write this much. Still praying for pee to be plentiful, bleeding to cease and heart to start to beat on it's own. We are praying for our own miracle baby.
