On Track

The results of Grace's head ultrasound were revealed to us today. No significant changes. We consider that a positive result. We would be concerned by increasing fluid build up in the ventricles in the brain, but although they are larger than they should be, the have not increased since the last one. We have another ultrasound Monday to check again.
Not much progress on the ventilator. She does well, but we are not moving very quickly on changes. Part of that is due to the holiday weekend, part of that is planned. She will get a cardiac echo on Monday to see how the PDA is doing since it might be affecting her ability to wean from the ventilator. At some point it will need to be closed.
Finally, they stopped giving her nutrition by her IV today and she is now completely reliant on breast milk via tube feeds for her calories. She is tolerating them beautifully and seems to be plumping out a little. I will try and get more pictures tomorrow.
