Olivia has officially surpassed her record for being on the CPAP machine. With that being said, we are not in the clear. It is going to take time and we are going to find out if her tiny lungs have the stamina to do all the work.

Today her CO2 levels were high, so the doctors decided to move her pressure from seven to eight. Eight is the highest pressure they will do on the CPAP, so it is a little nerve wracking for us. If her CO2 does not stay in her range and it appears she is working hard to breathe, she will have to be intubated again. She hates having the mask/prongs, but she didn’t like the tube either. I know she will be so happy one day when she will not need any of them.

It is so hard watching her, and not being able to do anything to help her. We love that little girl so much!

I’ll leave you with a little Christmas joy. Below is a photo of our new family stockings. We can’t get over how cute Olivia’s is.
