I just got back from visiting Rachel and she had a a good day and was having a good night......SHe was still on her tummy and she does so well on her tummy they leave her on there, just turn her head so her ears don't get folded.
They also increased her feedings to 9ml's at the 6pm feeding. She had some of the
7.5 ml's left in her tummy from her 12pm feeding so they didn't increase it at the 3pm. I did talk to the nurse regarding the feedings and her IV fluids. Her fluids were also increased due to the increase in the feedings. THe nurse said that once she reaches full feedings.....for her age right now her full feedling will be 14ml's or almost 1/2 ounce she will no longer get the fluids....but they will leave her picc line in in case they need to give her something.
She is still on the Oclilator, but doing well and hopefully they can turn down the pressure so we can begin her journey off of that and back to the other vent. But we will take it one day at a time.....they still give her morphine or adavan to help with staying comfy....but it's only as needed every 6hours (4hours for the adavan).
They will also keep treating her with antibiotics for another 6 days (for a total of 10) and that seems to be helping her lungs clear as well....they also have not had her laying on her sides to help keep the lungs inflated while on the Ocilator.
Hopefully tomorrow is another good day.....and here's to another uneventful night!!!
