A Good Day

We had a good day today. Grace made significant progress as they weaned down the ventilator. There is even some talk of switching her to a standard ventilator instead of the high speed oscillator she is now on. She is now off one of the two "pressors" that keep her blood pressure up and is weaning down the second. The new cardiac echo showed a decrease in size of the PDA and they are going to give her medication to hopefully close it completely. As an extra bonus, her genetic testing came back normal. It is nice to have some movement in the right direction. We are very aware that she is likely to experience setbacks, but we take delight in each improvement that leads toward a healthy outcome and brings Grace one day close to coming home.
