It is very apparent she knows our voices and can tell when we are in the room or at the bedside. We have become very familier with the ventilator settings and all the different adjustments that will continue to be made. The current goal though is to get her weened off the nitric oxide machine which can only be lowered 1% every 24 hrs.
During rounds tonight the doctors said they were very happy with how her stats we showing and would like to pull a blood gas to see if her levels are ok to weening the nitric twice in one day.
They have also begun feeding her the breastmilk again but started slowly with 10 ml for now. So far -- no pukage!! They have also started her on nexium every 12 hrs which does two things -- helps with keeping any ulcers in her tummy from forming and helps with and acid reflux she may have. Got to love the purple pill!
We are still very optimistic about how she continues to progress. One doctor on rounds said last night that there may be a chance if she continues the way she has been the ventilator could come out as early as mid week this week!! Which means a flood a pictures of us getting to hold her!!!
Keeping our fingers crossed!
Out like a light!!! Xoxo
Keep the good news and photos coming! Love reading about her progress!
