She also did one more Sprint training off the respirator for an hour and did very well. While she is still on the ventilator, most breaths she is initiating on her own. The vent is set to 16 BPM (Breaths per Minute), but she's breathing at 28 on her own. She gets one or two more sprint training episodes later today before they pull her tube and let her run her own marathon.
She is now off all meds to keep her BP up, she is still on the vasodilator for her peripheral circulation. Not sure if this is something she'll be on long term or not. She has also been off all her diuretics since yesterday evening and is about even for fluid in & fluid out, which is right where she should be.
Hopefully the steady progress continues and we don't get any steps back.
Here's to another good day!!!
Thank you for continuously keeping us posted on Olivia. We've checked the blog about a zillion times but haven't commented until now. You have all been in our prayers, and we are so thankful for Olivia's progress and healing. Take care and God bless.
ReplyDeleteGreat update! I check this blog constantly too. :-)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely good news ... Life will soon be returning to normal ... or at least as normal as life can get with a baby in the house. Back to changing diapers and stain remover on shoulders of shirts and blouses :-) I was going to say sleepless nights ... but you've had more than your fair share of those already!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine that for you, a baby's cries will take on a vastly different meaning than for most parents. They will seem like a gift that reinforces your knowledge that she survived this ordeal!
This is all such great news! You have done such an excellent job of informing everyone.
ReplyDeleteHere is to a lifetime of good days.
Run Olivia run.
