Elizabeth's last large does of steriod treatment ended today with no major changes in her status. She is still on the ventilator, she has improved a little bit she is able to wean to lower oxygen levels on the vent and keep her saturation level up. They had decided to continue giving her steriods but at a much lower does due to the fact that steroids lower her immune system so much. Her dose of Sildenafil was been increased to max recommeded dose and no major changes have been seen from that. She continues to gain weight very slowly so they have started adding Human Milk Fortifer to the breastmilk she gets in order to give her more calories and hopefully help her gain some weight.
