Just a quick update to let everyone know that an infectious disease doctor just stopped by to see Kinley. He looked her over and did not see any signs of sepsis. He is just recommending that Kinley stay on her antibiotics for about 5 or 6 more days to make sure she is able to kick her pneumonia.
There was one other change for Kinley today. Dr. W decided to switch Kinley back to the conventional ventilator. This happened around 3:30 pm. The hope is that the new ventilator will help Kinley open up that upper lobe of her right lung.
On a brighter note, Kinley is getting one of her old toys back. The trial blood gas machine that she had before she went on ECMO is being set up again.
