Ahhhhh, sweet, sweet sleep

Two days ago the Drs changed strategy with regard to the type of medication Liam gets and the way these meds are being administered.  Rather than inject a few meds directly, they are now dripping them into her through the IV.  This seems to be working well.  Liam is no longer in severe and continuous pain.  She sleeps a lot - which is good.  while the drips are not a long term solution, it allows for her body to hill from [speculated] internal wounds.
So next to her bed is a medication skyscraper (that a few geeks, who think they know better, insist on calling an IV pole).

Other positive signs:
Dialysis seems to be working well.
Blood pressure is good.
She's peeing on her own (so they don't need to cathe her that often).
She's a lot more interactive and aware of her surrounding.

One not so great item - and an important one:
Liam is producing red blood cells, but mysteriously losing them.  They're trying to figure this out.
