More sucking

Alex was awake for awhile tonight, although a bit out of it. She doesn't seem to have much strength and she let's us know when she's uncomfortable. Most of time it's because she needs to be suctioned as she cannot cough with the breathing tube in. She's been struggling a little tonight and the docs had to bump her up on oxygen. But it's to be expected with the ridiculous amounts of mucus her body is producing.

We are heading home to get some rest and hope that our baby girl has a good night.
