Elizabeth did not respond well to the high flow oxygen, so she was moved to the next intervention of CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) which is the same type of machine she was on in NICU when she was first born. They also had to put her back on the nitric oxide to get her stat up, as soon as they hooked up the nitirc she responded immediately to it and her saturation level started going back up! Which is great because the next step would be going back on a ventilator. They have started her steriods again and gave her a dose of lasix (diuretic) to help get any extra fluid off of her. She is resting and no longer struggling to breath.
Thanks for all the support and concern!
