ICU today - January 18th

Today there was a bit of a scare. After Baby Gracie having really the best night since her birth, Jackie and Dave stayed at the hospital overnight, and at about 7am the Doctors rushed in as Gracie's blood pressure and pulse both slowed to almost nothing. The UCSF Doctors worked on her but initially communicated to Jackie and Dave that they should get the family together to say goodbye as they thought they were out of options.

Fortunately in the few minutes that it took Jackie and Dave to get to Gracie, she had already made a turnaround and started doing much better, the Doctors were hopeful that this was a good turn, but still very conservative and obviously a critical time. She had one additional dip with blood pressure and heart rate later during the morning, but has been strong since about 11am today. The next 24 hours are still very critical but she is showing some signs of improvement and hope.
