Off the Nitric . . .

. . . but in flutter. They took Bailey off the nitric today around 12:30. She's done fine so far, but has been quite nauseous all day. When they do the cardioversion tomorrow, they are going to scope to see if they can find an ulcer or anything that might be contributing to or causing her nausea. She's apparently been going in and out of flutter for 2 days now, but is pretty much in flutter now.

We're still in ICU. Dr. D has put a request in for a bed on the heart center but, unfortunately, they're full right now. We're hoping they send someone home tomorrow so we can squeeze in. Prayerfully, Bailey will continue to do well off the nitric. And, good news, she's lost 4 pounds in 2 days. They don't weigh down here every day like they do on the heart center, so we weren't sure where her weight was. But they weighed her this afternoon and found good news! Yeah!! She's so excited about that. We're hoping the thyroid medication they started her on about 5 days ago is helping also. Maybe we're at a turn for the better. We just keep praying and seeing what the days bring us. Bailey's hoping to be home by Thanksgiving. That would certainly be nice, but we'll do what we need to do.

Hope all is well with everyone out there. We're enjoying the country music awards (CMAs) tonight. Hoping to catch a glimpse of our good friend Mimi!

Good night.
