Greetings from Izzy's Bedside

Greetings from the bedside of Izzy.

Izzy came off the ventilator yesterday morning. I stopped in real quick on the way to the wedding and she was off the vent and laying out under the bili lights. I told her to pretend she was tanning at the beach, lol. I am thinking I should bring her in some ocean sound music and play it for her. She is doing good off the vent, she is still breathing fast but her blood gas is good so they aren't too worried. If the blood gas gets bad they will try putting her on c-pap, which is just high pressure nasal prongs before they would go back to the vent.

She also started feedings yesterday and is doing great with that so far and it looks like they are going to increase her feedings today if everything is going well. Hopefully she will start going poo now that she has food in her and she will get rid of this bili and then I will be able to hold her as much as I want when ever I want. I told the nurses at that point they will be lucky to get her back ;)

Well, got to go she lost her binki again which means I am going to have to hold it for her. By the way, hearing your baby cry is the absolute best sound, especially when you haven't been able to hear her cry because she has been on the vent. (something I am going to have to remember at 3 am in a few weeks).
