Moving on up

Yesterday was very busy and started off with a rough morning.  Alex needed more respiratory support overnight and during the day so they were considering keeping her in ICU.  She improved a little in the afternoon so we finally moved to the floor yesterday (Monday) evening.  She has copious secretions and mucous so she's getting a lot of deep suctioning, vest treatments and continues to get extra support from her bipap and heated high flow.  We didn't get much sleep last night because her oxygen saturation kept dropping so we are hoping to make some big strides today while she is awake.
