Please pray for McKenna today. Her heart rate is so high they are doing more tests today. They have taken her off the meds that tell her brain to remember to breathe. They took her off those last week to see if that would decrease her heart rate. It didn't and she was having so many apnea spells, or heart rate drops that they put her back on it. So they will take her off it again for a few days to see how that effects her.
They are also doing an EKG, ultra sound, blood count tests, chest and gut x-ray. This will be to see if she has an infection and to make sure her heart murmur is okay, and that she isn't having problems, and to see if they can find anything. They did a few of these tests last week and didn't find answers, so they are retesting again today to see if they can figure it out. It is possible that it is just how she is. We are praying they can fix it either way, because a heart rate that gets up to 240 is not normal or healthy.
They are also taking McKenna's isolate temperature down and putting her in clothes to see if that helps. They are thinking maybe she is just warm blooded and her body temp a little cooler will help.
Please pray for answers, direction and wisdom for the doctors and that they can help our baby girl. We are a nervous wreck today and anxiously awaiting results. Hopefully we will get some answers tonight, but most likely will take a couple days.
Thanks everyone!!! Will let you know what we find out.
