They took Addy off of ET/CPAP today and put her on nasal cannula!! She is now breathing on her own with the help of steroids. She only has 21% oxygen which is what you and me breathe!! This is so exciting!!
I can't wait till I go back and see her!! Wendall flew me home so I could be with him for Valentine's Day and could be at home. She is gonna be so different now that she is off of the vent! I will be able to hear her cry! LOL She has also been off of heat since yesterday! She has been doing great with that as well! She is just all around great. She won't have to have her test on her trachea now since she is breathing on her own!!
I guess as soon as the steroids wear off as long as she's breathing good they'll start trying to feed her. Not sure when they're gonna try. They said about three days after the steroids start wearing off they usually drop with they're breathing so she may end up on CPAP or even back on the vent. So hopefully its neither but if either one I hope she never goes back on the vent!! She's just too big for that now!! She just looks miserable with it. Plus I would hate for her to have to get a trach put in and her have a feeding tube for so long!!
They started putting clothes on her since she isn't on heat anymore!! It's so cute!! It's funny they float on her even though they only fit up to 5 pounds!!
Well that's all I have for now!! See you guys later!! And Happy V-Day!!
