The Emma Report

Emma’s doing much better today. She does appear to have bacteria either in her lungs or the ET tube, but the antibiotics should take care of that. Most importantly, her urine output continues to be fine, she’s tolerating feeds, and they’ve started the process of slowly reducing her vent rate and oxygen concentration. As of tonight she’s down to 25 per minute (as compared to 50 last night) and they’re running oxygen around 27%.

Tonight Emma was the most active I’ve seen her so far. She was sucking on her soother and exploring around with her hand while I fed her. Looks like she’s finally on an upswing!
