Big Changes

They told us that everyday would be a surprise and they weren't kidding. Today the NICU decided to take Grace off the jet ventilator and see if she would tolerate a standard ventilator. As of this evening she was doing very well. She seems a little less touchy on the regular ventilator, so perhaps she was just tired of the jet and ready to move on.
She had a very busy day today. She had an eye test to check for retinal damage (common in preemies). Fortunately that was okay, but they will check her again next week. She also had a head ultrasound today. We won't have that report until tomorrow, but we are still concerned about how her bleed has progressed.
In the meantime it does seem a little quieter in her isolette. The whap whap whap of the jet is gone and Grace seems one step closer to home.
