Day 18

Baby Girl had a good weekend and is doing well this morning. She's eating all her food and is back to 1lb 15.5 oz. Soooo close to the 2lb mark again! She's also doing better on her oxygen saturation and is getting stronger.

Please pray that she starts to tolerate being slowly weaned from the vent this week. They don't mind giving her the support but being on the vent greatly increases the risk of infections. The most common infection is known as a "water bug" and she's already had it and received antibiotics for it. The doctors definitely won't rush the process and they're doing everything they can to avoid her getting sick.

Use those lungs! Get them strong so you can spend the next year crying and screaming at your mama like a good girl! ;)
