1 Week

Sweet Slumber
Today marks my 1 week of being here at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, WA. Alexa had another good night. Her chest tube fluids are still pretty high but are coming down. They went from 204 to 145 and I don't know if that's cm, mg or whatever. Still not low enough to take the chest tubes out. On the other hand we took the oxygen out of her nose and her stats have been great. She can finally breath on her own with the help of oxygen. One more thing to cross off the checklist. She has also done really well at learning to suck on the binkie and strengthen her sucking skills so that she can nurse. She has gone all day and night without morphine which is a huge step as well. Now we just have to pray the chest cavity heals so that we can take those dang tubes out so that we can come home.

No oxygen, I'm a big girl!
