On the up and up!

YEAH Bryn!!

Today Bryn's blood oxygen levels have been awesome so the doctors decided to bring her oxygen down to 25 and adjust her ventilator. They are hoping to take the vent off tomorrow or Tuesday! She is getting more feisty everyday and the doctor thinks this is a good sign that she doesn't need the vent anymore!

They did tell us today that the source of the infection is Pnemonia. They think she somehow contracted it in utero and sent me into labor. She definately had immature lungs but the pnemonia is what has made her so sick. Her chest xray today came back as normal for a newborn so the surfactant did its job! Now we just have to let the antibiotics work as well! She is half done with the antibiotics and her infection is coming down tremendously!

We are so proud of her improvements every day! It is amazing what your children can do! Keep praying for us!

Dear Bryn,
Go you! Tell those NICU doctors and nurses that you want to go home to see Halle & Wrigley. Love, Sasha (BTDT!)
