Bye Bye ventilator!

Today at 10:45am Bryn came off of the ventilator! YEAH! She is doing great without it. They did give her a cannula in her nose just to give her a little bit of extra oxygen for the nex day or so, so she doesn't have to work quite so hard! Her chest xray came back much better, not showing the pnemonia... All in all it has been a great day. They will check her blood gases at 12:45 to see how they are doing and then take the line out of her belly button. Hopefully we will get to hold her by the end of the day! The only bad news I have is that she is not digesting the breast milk very well. Yesterday she had two feedings that she digested but this morning was not digesting much at all. They are not going to feed her for 24 hours and see if that will get her digestion moving. She is getting all the nutrients she needs through the pick line but they say she may get a little bit fussy since her tummy is empty. I will post a picture very soon!
