Elizabeth had a good night and continues to do well today. They stopped paralyzing her around 10pm last night, she is still heavily sedated but can move around and has sucking on her pacifier :)
Her oxygen requirement has went down and shes on 55% oxygen now (she went home from here on 45% in October, so thats is a step in the right direction). But that can flucuate, so UI dont want to get my hopes up just yet. She is breathing above the ventilator which is also a good sign. She is still on the nitric and they have attempted to wean it a few times but she seems to like it too much. So they will continue to try to get her off of it, but from past experience we know it takes her a while to give it up. She is still very sick and not out of the woods but things are looking much much better than they have been. From what the Dr has said he really thinks it was infection and getting that under control with some anitibiotics has been the best thing for her.
