Sydney is having a really, really good day! She's at the lowest rate she's even been on the vent and she's doing most of the breathing herself. When she was intubated last week her X-Ray showed some more fluid in her lungs but her doctor wasn't concerned about it. She said that frequently happens when babies are extubated and struggling. They started her on more diuretics and today's X-Ray came back great.
She also has very little mucus today and that is also helping her to breathe better.
They are actually planning to try to take her off the vent again tomorrow! We thought they would wait some more but she's been doing better and better every day so they're going to try. We're praying she's strong enough to handle it now.
Thanks for all your support.

I am excited for you both, praying that everything works out and you can really hold her and do the Kangaroo thingy successfully. God is good and he's going to keep on blessing lil miss Sydney.
