Our Little Smoker

They just pulled her tube about an hour ago and she's doing great. Oxygen levels staying around 80. Lungs sound good. Blood Pressures good. Very positive development.

Now that the tube is out she's got a nice little hoarse voice. A cough that sounds like she smokes a pack of unfiltered cigs a day. Poor baby.

As long as she continues this progress, she will start feeds this afternoon. As long as she tolerates feeds, they will try to wean her off her Calcium. Once she's off the Calcium drip she can be moved to Moderate care. Hopefully this will happen in the next 24-48 hours.

    We are thinking good thoughts for little Olivia today. Make sure you both take time out for feeds too. (-:

    Love,
