Good evening from Denver everyone,
Amy is doing well, however she is running a fever with a manageable lung infection. This is common for someone on a ventilator as they cannot regulate their own fluids properly. The doctors are not concerned and are starting her on a course of antibiotics.
Amy is back on her ventilator and oxygen support today as her lungs need time to rest from how persistently she was trying to breath on her own yesterday. Our girl is a stubborn one. We've got to make sure she rests. The nurses have remarked on how strong her athlete's lungs are.
Given this infection and the restlessness from the fever, Amy needs rest. Please write to her and keep her in your good thoughts.
Amy's room is looking beautiful thanks to all the homemade posters, photographs, and notes you all have sent.
Amy is very curious and determined to explore objects with her left hand. Jess has attached one of Amy's childhood stuffed animals to the bed so she has something to hold on to. It is encouraging to see how strong her grip is and how gentle and fine her motor control can be when plays with Jess's hair.
Please check back with the blog soon to learn about preliminary details for dance performances in honor of Amy.
