Well, no meeting happened today but we are thankful we have time now to see how Autumn is going to improve or not before making any decisions on her care. The doctor from Scottish Rite hospital who will be taking care of Autumn once she leaves Children's wanted a MRI done today and he wants to see the results before making his recommendations. Well, he will also be out of town for 8-10 days so the meeting will not happen until he returns. They sent her this morning for her MRI and should get the results back tomorrow. She had another great day--did not have to get bagged any today even when they moved her around so much for the MRI. She did desat a few times but came back up on her own and she also was on morphine so that probably caused her to desat more--she also let the vent breathe for her a few times today--she was being lazy. :) She slept all day so it was an uneventful day which are the kind of days we like.
The renal scan came back and everything looked fine except her left urethra was a little dilated so they are going to just keep an eye on her diapers to make sure there is plenty of urine in them. They decided to keep the PICC line in just in case she will have a trach done--they said the risk of infection is low when it is not being used for much and right now it is just being used for fluids and nothing else. They keep changing their minds so it may change again tomorrow. We are not sure their plans on the vent and when they will extubate her--we have to ask during rounds tomorrow if we are there. Everything should be smooth sailing until we meet with the doctor unless Autumn decides to act up and makes things worse. ;) We need this time of relaxing for now.
