It's day 3 and Lila Grace has made major progress!! She has exceeded all expectations. The drs said she would be on the ventilator for 1-2 days and she was off before E and I even saw her. They said they would bring in the OT to get her to "latch on" to the bottle and she has latched on and taken several bottles...and still wants more. They said she would be in the PICU until tomorrow and we have moved already. She is amazing (and Dr. Mendeloff, too)!
Here are some really great things that have happened today...
-they removed all but 3 of the 15 "lines" attached to her
-most importantly they removed the oxygen this afternoon (she hated that in her nose!)
-we've moved out of ICU into a pediatric floor
-we got to hold her
-SHE SMILED!! First smile since Monday morning!
-We heard a rumor that we have between 48 and 72 hours on this floor, so we may be out by Friday or Saturday
Hooray! I am so glad to hear such great news. She continues to look great! Look forward to having you back home!
