Big update this morning. At around 11am our little bugger decided she didn't want to be on the ventilator anymore and forced it out. Before that, she had been making some steps toward breathing on her own - so this is where we wanted her to be anyway, although a little sooner than the docs felt comfortable. So she's now breathing completely on her own, with some pressure support from the CPAP which blows continuous air through her nose. This keeps her lungs & airway open, it does.
So things aren't looking so dark today. Let's just hope & pray that our little princess keeps it up.
Glad to see she is doing well without the tube. What is up with the storm trooper? Glad I got to run into you guys today. Nice hair cut J.
