Elizabeth is still in PICU and still on the cpap machine. They have weaned her O2 requirement from 100 down to 45 and she is doing well with it. Still weaning thepain/sedative meds, getting sildenafil for the hypertension and the steriods they started yesterday.  Her feeding tube came out earlier so they had to re-do it and she did really well keeping her saturation up without having to increase her oxygen while they did it. She is still on 10 on the nitric but they may try to start weaning her down on it again. We got to hold her for a little while today and she seemed to like that. We have a meeting in a little bit with the pulmonologist, cardiologist and NICU doctors to discuss "the plan" and make sure we are all on the same page. So no real new news today other than requiring less oxygen, so hopefully that means the steriods are working for her.
