Our good luck charm

What a day! Annie has been breathing on her own, off CPAP, since 8am. This is just miraculous -we haven't been in a position this good for some time (we tried this a few days ago and she had to go back on CPAP after about 3 hours). This is such a huge accomplishment for Annie and I am confident that Kyung (ner nurse) has been standing over her all day commanding her to breathe and ordering her infection to go away. Kyung is a tough cookie (so is Annie) and we're grateful to her for being our good luck charm today!!

In other news, they got her new iv in in one stick (yeah, Monica!) and Annie is up to 13 ccs.

I know there will be other curve balls but boy is it nice to see Annie accomplishing something so huge. It's hard to fight these bugs when you are such a little thing but Annie seems to be kicking some bacteria butt.

I, too, have been breathing on my own since 8am. I highly recommend it, Annie! All the cool kids are doing it!

Hooooray for Annie girl! Keep on that way and keep your mom and dad breathing easier. Hoooray too, for wonderful NICU nurses and docs. I'm so glad they were able to locate the source of the infection.
Love,
Barb

Gran would like to make a special request for One-Stick Monica or someone like her to be in charge of all blood donations for Annie
