Sleeping Beauty

Alex has been sleeping since I arrived this afternoon. She's def made progress in the past 24 hours which makes us happy. They tried some pressure support trials with the vent today which is basically a way to tell if she's ready to breathe on her own and be off the vent but she clearly showed she still needs the support. We'll just try again tomorrow and let her rest for now. As they work on weaning her off of the vent she'll need to be weaned off the narcotics. She'll get half the dose she's been getting the past couple of weeks and also get something to take the edge off.

Other than that, we are just patiently waiting. We want to thank all of our faithful followers for the prayers and words of encouragement you've left on the blog. We are forever grateful and feel so loved :)

She is a sleeping beauty and soon she will be the active beauty she was before all of this came her way. Give Alex my love and big hugs to mommy and daddy.

Alli is doing good It is always a bit of adjustment after coming home from the hospital.

Only she will know when she is ready. Then she will let everyone else know :) This may seem like FOREVER but in no time, this will pass and you will be holding her. It seems like not long ago she was still in your belly! Time really does go fast! Hoping she keeps going in the right direction.
