Breathing

Farrah's little body has been working so hard to keep up with the nasal cannula the past two days. Today's day and night nurse said that they had to bump up the pressure from the machine based on the blood gas results over the course of the day. She is also breathing very quickly. They are watching to see if she tires out too much. We are praying that her body can adjust to the change and stay strong, but they have warned us tonight not to be surprised if she is back on the ventilator tomorrow. Please pray for her strength and for our good spirits.

Some positive news is that she is currently up to 4 ccs of breast milk every three hours, so her feedings have been going well. She also had another bowel movement today, which shows that her digestive system is still working as it should.
