Moving in the Right Direction

Monday, January 26, 2009
We turned down the flow on Grace's oxygen today. She is now down to 2 liters (from 3). If we can get her to 1L than she can go back to standard nasal cannula and is one step closer to home. She seems to be tolerating it okay. We can't help but feel that we went too fast from vapotherm to nasal cannula last time which set her up for failure on the sleep study. We hope to repeat it in about a week, and hopefully she will do better.
Food seems not to be a big issue. She has gone up to 70cc of milk every 3 hours and is now back to what is know as "dump" feeds. This just means she is off the pump and gravity just dumps it down her NG into her growing belly. She is 1 ounce shy of 10 pounds today.
In other big news, Deb worked a half day today. I think it was good for her to have a change of pace. She still managed to spend a big chunk of the day with Gracie though.
