1) got back on the trach collar today...with oxygen. They started you out at 28% and got you down to 25% by the time I had to leave. Goal is to increase length of time on collar and off vent while weaning off the oxygen. We're still going home with oxygen but don't want it to be a mandatory thing.
2) Mama got more vent training...which will continue every day this week... I just love new machines with lots of flashing lights and numbers and important settings =/
3) tomorrow we're going for a ride! Hopefully the loaner stroller was delivered this afternoon because we have a big trip tomorrow...all the way around the unit!
4) everything is flowing smoothly so far to get out on the 14th; we've got everyone (dr, PT, OT, ST, RT, home nurses, NICU nurses, pulminology staff, medical supply company) on board for our Monday meeting. The case manager is trucking along with approvals and requests (the latest being the decision that she needs a hospital style crib at home for easier access and ability to position better).
5) Dr. C (new face!) who is a PT (head of therapy department??? Don't remember...) came and did an evaluation. We'll continue to see him as an outpatient as well.
6) you got some play time on the floor with PT and ST and loved it! Then you got to sit up in your tumble form chair and make sure the trach nurse was teaching me correctly... You were listening pretty closely!
7) you still love Sophie best :)
Sounds fantastic! Mountains are moving & stars are lining up! Lexi Jo & Sophie are ready to come home ... praising God for your medical staff ♡
