Day 6
Ali slept pretty well last night - for awhile.  She slept pretty good until about midnight or so and then was pretty much up the rest of the night :(  She has slept a little this morning while watching some cartoons.  Her blood pressure is still up and and down - and never down to a normal 3 year old level.  It seems to fluctuate between 140ish/110ish and 110ish/70ish.  She has wanted to sit in her wagon this morning.  We have found a plasitc radio flyer wagon she can sit and and we take her for rides around the hospital.  For the most part she just lays in the bottom of it, but it gets her out of bed and out of the room.  She is due for some more meds and a blood pressure reading but I have told her after that we can go.  I am sure that she is pretty bored by now after being here all week.  Not much new or no real progress.  The doctors are still optimistic that since she seems to be responding to the captopril best that indeed the problem stems from renal artery stenosis.  I would like to see some more improvements before I buy off on that totally :)
