Today they took out Brinleigh's breathing tube to the ventelator. She is now on oxygen tubes in her nose. This is a big step and great progress. She is now breathing on her own. She still has the feeding tube for now. She is being fed 1/2 of what they want to give her. She is scheduled to be on the last few antibiotics untill next week. Then they hope to remove one of her picc lines. Her art line is starting to deterioate also so that may be gone soon. That is an ok thing but doesn't give them quite the access to give her medications and draw blood that they prefer.
She is making progress daily. She seemed to be a strong baby when she was born. She seems to be getting back to that after her sickness.
She even had a manicure and pedicure the other day. Her nails were curling to her skin they were so long. The hospital staff is not allowed to trim them so most of them were done by Carrie and Grandma.
Oh and soon we may even be able to hear her cry. Not a thing most parents like to hear but it will be very cool sound.
