Norah has had a busy couple of days. Yesterday we were able to wean her off some of her heart medications and one of her sedation medications. Her arterial line and last umbilical line came out. Both Luke and I were able to hold her a couple of times. Today she was weaned of her steroids and the last heart medication. They took the pacer wires out of her heart. She now is getting a lot of her medications down her NG tube. She is still on a Fentanyl drip and we are slowing weaning that off too. We tried that a couple of days ago and she started going through withdrawal from the narcotics so we are taking that one really really slow. She did start sucking on a pacifier as well. I had been working all day at it with no luck, then of course Luke came in and tried and she took it right away. So I guess she is a daddy's girl like the other two. If we are able to get her O2 down today later this afternoon we can maybe attempt a bottle. Norah does not do well with fast changes and we have changed a lot the past couple of days so I don't want to rush anything. Her poor skin in all red and blotchy as it appears she has an adhesive allergy, other then that she is making a lot of progress. Hopefully we can maintain it and continue to move forward. Thanks again for the continued prayers and kind words.
God Bless,
Luke and Amanda
