Cassie got some good rest last night. This morning she was able to tolerate more time sitting up on the side of the bed with the support of Physical and Occupational therapists. She was able to sit up for about 5 minutes before her dizziness returned. She has continued to be off the ionotrophic agent that would support her heart functionality. She was on “room air” for 7.5 hours today. However at the end of her time on “room air” her blood turned very acidic. This is caused from her inability to expel carbon dioxide as she breathes out. This caused her blood pressure to decrease significantly at the end of the day and made her get very drowsy. In order to return back to normal levels she was placed back on the ventilator temporarily and had to use some blood pressers to return her blood pressure to an acceptable level. The medical staff got everything back to normal levels and are settling her in for the night. The family continues to share all the thoughts and prayers that are passed along through this page to Cassie.
