" Abby come home so you can take bubble baths with me"
Tomorrow Abby will be 10 weeks old. She weighs 3 pounds 8.4 oz today. She remains on the ventilator. Abby was doing great and they thought they were going to be able to put her back on CPAP but then she got another immunization yesterday morning. Abby has had several episodes where she stops breathing and they have to give her manual breaths. The Dr. told me yesterday that we would reevaluate the situation today. Chad went to visit her during the night when she was getting a bath. He said she was wide awake looking all around. He said he did not stop smiling the whole time he was looking at her. When I look at her I feel the same way. She is so beautiful and perfect to me. Her nurse today, told me she did not think Abby was ready to be taken off the ventilator yet. She has a lot of secretions in her lungs so they have started on breathing treatments called albuterol and atrovent. I got in touch with another mother who went through a very similar experience three years ago. Her son was a 23 week preemie and now he is a happy and healthy three year old. This gives me hope. Please keep Abby in your prayers.
