Day 64

Bella's lungs seem to be reacting well to the steriod treatments. The doctor weaned her pressure down by 1 point again today and her rate is down to 35. This is a vast improvement over where she was 6 days ago, when treatment began. She has 3 days of steroids left and will continue to receive breathing treatments during this time as well. One of the immediate negative effect of the steroids is slowed weight gain, which we're seeing now. The doctor increase her calories to 28/oz which will hopefully help. Still at 2.2lbs today. Overall Miss Bella is doing great!
