Another good day




Today went pretty well for our little angel. They are slowly able to wean off of her medications. She was on three this weekend to keep her blood pressure up where it should be. They took one off completely this morning, another one's dose has been almost cut in half, and the third one they haven't touched yet. She is tolerating this very well and maintaining a good blood pressure.

They are slowly making adjustments with her ventilator but we had a little set back this evening with her lungs. It isn't major and is easily fixed, but we hate setbacks. We love to keep going forward on her recovery!

Also, they had to remove her blue lights. There is a long detailed explanation for this but what it comes down to is that she is what they call a "bronze baby". Because of the jaundice that she has the blue lights could permanently pigment her skin this bronze color. So we get to see her pretty little face more for now! If the one level in her blood work continues to go up and gets to a dangerous level she will have to go back under them, but for now she is out from behind her goggles!

That is my update for today. Hopefully I can continue to have updates like this with lots of good news and no roller coaster rides!

Please continue to pray for our little girl!
