Our girl was up to a lot today, in a very good way. They are able to make positive ventilator changes and they are still able to cut the dosage of her blood pressure medicines. She is doing so good. She is one tough little girl and amazes us with her strength every single day.
Today was her first full day with her glasses off and we got to catch her with her eyes open for awhile during our visit today (of course with my scatter brain I forgot my camera), they also removed her ear muffs from that she was wearing before. So we actually got to see our baby without so much stuff covering her face. She is absolutely beautiful. The pictures I have been posting don't even show half of how adorable she really is.
Also today they did an ultrasound of her liver (because of the jaundice) and her brain (which is a normal test for preemies). We don't know what the results are but we are just assuming that no news is good news! They will tell us for sure tomorrow how the tests looked.
She was started her on a new medicine called phenobarbital. Usually that medicine is used for seizures but in her case it is being given to help breakup the bilirubin in her body to help clear the jaundice. It will also kind of sedate her. She is so active and so far that medicine hasn't really done anything in that department! She is one hyper girl!
So our girl had another good day and seems to be heading in the right direction so that she can have her next surgery. I don't expect that to happen until next week at the earliest. The surgeons want her as stable as possible before they take her back.
Please keep praying for this little one! She is being so tough and your prayers will help that continue!
