Two Months

Farrah is two months old today! Yesterday (Wednesday) was a big day for Farrah, as they decided to switch her from the jet ventilator to the conventional vent. She was down to the lowest settings on the jet, so it was just a matter of time until they would make the change. Farrah's doctors want to be very conservative with any changes that they make with Farrah. I visited Farrah after work and they had just moved her over to the regular vent. Farrah was handling the change ok and was doing what she does best - sleeping. Her body was swaddled, but I watched as Farrah slowly worked her hands out of the swaddle. She is a sneaky one and the nurses still can't risk having Farrah pull her breathing tube out

We request your continued prayers and positive thoughts for Farrah to get off the vent ASAP. Once she can tolerate the regular vent, they will try to get her off the ventilator all together. Let's pray Farrah off the vent. I had mentioned steroids before. Right now, Farrah's doctors are giving her one final chance to show us all if she can make the move off the vent on her own. We are praying that it will be the case.

Ray and I plan to going to see Farrah tonight after we are both done with work so we can celebrate Farrah's two month birthday as a family.
