Are you ready for this?!?!

A certain big girl has not used her feeding tube in over 24 hours!!! I wish I could adequately describe how much better she is doing with feeding this week. She's so much more coordinated and her breathing is perfect. There's a theory that all the sedation last week gave her some much needed rest and allowed her lungs to FINALLY recover from RSV. My friend Amy told me that RSV can be frustrating and wow, she wasn't kidding.

The other great thing is that we are back to 12.5 ccs of flow for oxygen and that's where she needs to be weaned completely. We're thinking the docs will give her a trial run by tomorrow.

Weight is 7lbs 2.25 oz today!
