Saturday Amanda finally got to hold her. I can't even imagine what that must have felt like! If it were me they would have had to pry my baby out of my arms once I finally got to hold her!
She has also started breathing over her ventilator. She has been beginning to cough and gag a little bit, which I'm told is what you want to happen because she needs to be able to do that to take the ventilator out. They are doing a CPAP trial this morning to see how she does breathing on her own and so far she is doing good.
Hopefully they can get her off of the ventilator within the next few days. I will keep everyone posted as I find things out. These are all just small steps, but the good thing is that they are small steps in the right direction.
