No tube, no problem!

Grace really enjoys not being intubated. I knew she hated that tube. She has been pretty happy without it and she loves to be held now. She makes tiny little cries and then settles down, and even went an entire 8 hour shift without needing a single PRN. She started out on 5 liters of oxygen and is down to 4. She is going up on her feeds still and is off of tpn and lipids. She likes to have her paci in her mouth and tries to suck but her mouth is weak and she doesnt really remember what it's for. But it's good she likes it in there and that she tries to chew it, we will be working on that. We are also going to start PT again, she is moving along! I am so glad she is doing so well. Thank you all so much for the thoughts and prayers.

  4. Continuing to remember you and Grace and REJOICING in the removal of that tube! Isn't it just incredible to hear those first small cries?! We brought Clara home from the hospital on Thursday. What a miracle for us... I am praying for your miracle as well...
