Well, what can I say. Livy is doing well, so not too much to share. Her oxygen has stayed in the high 20s and low 30s for the most part. Her CO2 has stayed within her range. She is still on bubbles of 8, but it sounds like if she continues to do well, they could try and wean her to 7 maybe tomorrow.

I forgot to share, but on Monday night, we were talking to the nurses before we did her cares about her poop history and how she has shot her poop out at some of the nurses and onto her bed. And she has had a few three diaper occurrences. And when I went to change her, lo and behold, she shot it out for me! I had changed her diaper and was starting to wipe when it shot out! That was the first time she had done it to me. Luckily I didn’t get nailed and the bed wasn’t too bad, we were able to clean it. If it gets down deep in the bed, she would have needed to get a new bed.

Our next nurse to spotlight is our night primary Mara. A little bit about Mara, she has two cats that rule her home. Her and her boyfriend enjoy going for hikes, spending time with family, and chillin’ at home watching shows. And when they can, they enjoy going to country concerts. Chris Stapleton is one of her favorites. Everyday at some point either Jeremy or myself will say, how lucky we are that we have amazing nurses taking care of our girl and Mara is definitely special. From the very beginning Mara treated Olivia with such tenderness and genuine care. Everytime she is with Olivia she is looking for ways to improve her situation and help her be successful. For example, last night she could tell that the prong set up that Olivia was on, was hard for her to bubble continuously. So she decided to switch her over to a different one that was more like a headband than a hat and she thought that going up in size would help her as well. Olivia has been a pro bubbler ever since! She also makes sure to explain everything she is doing with Olivia so we are educated and understand, which is so nice.

Because she has been extubated we are starting to hear Livy’s little cry. Here is a pic of her without anything on her face. So precious.
