Breathing well

Hi All,
thismorning Mia is once again a star. SHe had a very good night and they have woken her up and turned the ventilator down to minimum support (5 breaths per minute) so she is breathing on her own again. She was wide awake when we arrived in ICU and screwed up her face to cry (which she cant do yet) which made us teary.

She looks so cute and more importantly, comfortable.

On her Xray this morning she had what we call consolidation which may mean she has a bit of a chest infection. So they gave her lungs a bit of a wash out.

Plan for today is to extubate to CPAP again and she how she goes. Fingers and toes crossed!

Hi Mia,
You look so beautiful without your tube and with your dummy instead! Cleaver girl,
