In the last update I talked about how they may try and wean her to bubbles of 7. They did wean her early Thursday morning, but by the end of the day she just was not liking it, it seemed like she was working harder to breathe, so they moved her back to 8. If we are learning anything during this time, it is patience. It is all on her time and it is going to be a slow transition for her little lungs. But we are so proud of her. She has officially been off the ventilator for a week! Woohoo!
Continuing our spotlight of cool things in the NICU, they do a great job of documenting special days. With having Olivia at the end of September, there are ample holidays for us to celebrate. So many firsts for her and Sidney, who is the child life specialist, does such a sweet job. Many of you have seen her Thanksgiving photoshoot. This Wednesday, Santa and Mrs. Claus are coming the the NICU (Santa!!!!). We will share that picture for Christmas. But the one we haven’t shared are her Halloween pics. She had a cute little pumpkin head. And then turned into our little love bug.
