Better Safe than Sorry

Greta had another good, restful night in PICU. Over the last several days, she's been carefully monitored for fever, and constantly been treated for it, but last night for the first time she maintained her own normal temperature (it's the little things that are becoming big things!).

Greta is still having some difficulty breathing, so her doctors agree that she should probably stay in the PICU for now. She's off her sedatives, and when I spoke to Kristi moments ago, Greta was busy watching Baby Einstein DVDs (something she hasn't really been able to watch before, because she has to share TV time with Big Brother Gavin!). Kristi says she's doing well.

Visitors are still very much encouraged, as long as you'll be satisfied seeing her parents for now!

Thanks, as always, for your continued prayers and messages of love and support.

Go Greta Go, I am praying for you. I have a place downtown GR close to the hospital so on those late nights when you are tired please call and I will have a bed waiting for you.

Love to hear good news. We are all praying for you. I wish I had some really good words of wisdom but to be honest I find myself lost for words. Greta is in our hearts and we will continue to think of all of you daily.
Love,
