OK..updates:
Well Katie is doing great. They are trying to wean her off of the vent and have been doing it little by little. Friday she did it for 45 minutes on her own, then Saturday she did it for 2 hrs. She did a little over 2 Sunday. So she is making progress. They are hoping to take her off by the end of the week, but it will depend on what her body can handle.
She is getting better, slowly but still progress is being made!!

Hi Alexis,
I am SOOO happy to hear that she is on the road to recovery! They do say that faith can be stronger than medicine sometimes, and it looks like this may be one of them!
I hope that she keeps up the fight and is able to wake up next week. All my heart felt prayers to her and all your family. Please do keep us informed thoughout the week when you can.

Hey all--sorry for the missing update..
Ok so Katie is off the vent and she is breathing on her own. She does have 2 canuals (breathing tube) in her nose for the oxygen only and she is diong great on that.
She can whisper a little bit and she points to pictures we have and says she is hungry and thirsty all the time, which is great. She is doing so much better and she actualyl got to eat an orange popsicle!!
She has stood up and taken one step but she is still fighting the infection in her chest and in her kidneys. They are putting her on hemo dialysis and they are going to switch the port to a more permanent one for now. They will be doing out patient dialysis for quite sometime they believe.
They may be taking her out of the CICU within the next 2 weeks if her lungs are not as badly infected, then she will go to a regular floor and then after that she will be going to a 2 week inpatient physical therapy rehab facility to get her body back in the shape she needs to be in.
So things are looking up. She wants those ice chips thats for sure!! So one day at a time, she is is awake and getting better, very slowly but she will be good to go in a few weeks!!!!
Thanks everyone for all your prayers and well wishes, this place is really a great community!

Wow... I''ve been MIA for a while, but I just read about Katie''s situation. How heartbreaking! I can''t imagine how much stress & anxiety you''ve had over the past month!
It''s WONDERFUL to hear that she''s doing well. From pharmacy school, I''ve learned that children are quite resilient when it comes to illnesses, and she''s had some really nasty stuff. Sepsis, Pneumonia, and MRSA are all VERY hard to treat, despite the advances we have in medicine today. There are only so many drugs you can give someone without making them toxic from the therapy. It''s also really hard to treat when it has multiple organ involvement. The fact that she''s turning around and starting to recovery is truly amazing!
I''m so glad she''s doing better!! I can''t imagine how scarey those few days-weeks were when she was unstable.
We''ll keep praying for her and thinking about her. Keep us updated, and keep your head up!
