"Sweet Baby of mine, you embraced my heart and stole my breath away."

So today was a really good day for Evelyn. We went by this morning and she had had a good night, all her levels were staying stable and they had been able to lower some of the levels of her meds and such which is so good! They told us that if she stayed stable for awhile longer at those levels then were going to try taking her off the ventilator and see how she does off that. So later when we came back at 3, they had just taken the ventilator off and later at 8 she was still off and keeping her levels very stable.

So she's got a great chance of not having to go on the ventilator again, which is good cuz she HATED it. She's not loving the CPAP (the nasal piece giving her some extra oxygen before they let her go at it on her own) but it's much better than the ventilator. The other big issue is her blood pressure which they've been steadily decreasing the amount of meds for that all day and she's been maintaining a good blood pressure so everything's looking up today! She's been a lot more active today since they haven't had to sedate her as much (she would get so agitated if she woke up too much on the ventilator which would upset her levels so they sedated her quite a bit, now not AS much :)

So that's the news for today! The nurses said tonight that she's on the upside of overcoming the infection so hopefully she keeps up her quick improvements and we can bring her home! Here's some pics from today.
