Good Day

Emma had a good day overall today. Although we started out with a bump in the road (she had her pressure, amplitude and oxygen concentration all increased), she has worked it down and is in pretty good shape. In addition, due to the new ventilator type, the doctors have postponed giving Emma a spinal tap at this point. The doctors may still opt to give Emma a spinal tap at a later point. That being said, Emma did well today but her lungs have a lot of work to do.

Luckily, although Emma's lungs have been having struggles, there appears to be absolutely no effect on the rest of her body. She seems just as attentive as always, although she is sleeping more now. She has been gaining weight again (actually, she is now just under 3 pounds... 1326 grams or so!).

So, Emma continues to improve. We need to keep in mind that Emma's lungs are very delicate at this point. So, she'll probably have some more spells like she had this morning.

Mom taking Emma's temperature... Emma hates this (not when mom does it, but anytime anyone does it)

Emma still likes to look around to see what is going on...

Again with the temperature taking! Don't I ever get a break?

Hope everyone has a great day! I'm doing fine today.
