Day 62!!!

Again so sorry for the delayed posts to keep all of you updated. We haven't been able to sit still long enough to get it done...

Since our last post Bella turned 2 months yesterday! Again an amazing achievement and a true miracle for someone given a 5 percent chance of survival....We praise and thank you Lord!

Prior to starting the steroid treatments she was on a vent rate of 60, oxygen ranged from 70-85 percent and sats remained in the 80s...after steroids and breathing treatments began this past week her vent rate is now 44, oxygen has been as low as 47 percent and sats remain in the 90s...she has had a few episodes where they have had to go up on everything but she is bouncing back much faster. She had a beautiful blood gas this morning so she may go down again on vent settings. We are able to see her breathing more on her own now that the pressures are down, we pray these prove to be effective breaths.

She had a 2nd eye exam, which shows no cause for concern now and will follow up in 2 weeks. This is great news as the eyes are one thing that is greatly affected by long term ventilator use.

She is now 2 pounds, 2 oz!!! Woohoo!

Bella would like to wish her Aunt Yolanda a very happy birthday...she promises to be good this evening so mom and dad can have birthday dinner with you and Uncle Joey...

Waiting, watching and praying...

Much love to you all
Telisha
