Day 66
We are very happy to report that Emma is continuing to get better. Over the last several days, the doctors were able to wean down the settings on the jet ventilator, and today she was switched back to the regular ventilator! They have already started to wean down a little bit on the regular vent too. They are still going pretty slowly and not pushing her too quickly, but it has been steady improvement, which we are very pleased with.
They have also continued to wean down on the temperature in her isolette and are at the lowest point they will go until she is moved into a bassinet. She is doing great at maintaining her body temperature, and they have even started having her wear a shirt! It is very big on her (it looks more like a robe she would be wearing at the day spa) but she looks very cozy. She has been all tucked in to her blankets as well and is being a very good girl.
Emma is still getting 9 mL/hour and is up to 1380g, which is about 3 lbs, 1 oz. Grow Emma grow!
