5-19-2009 I would like to apologize for taking so long to post but I have to say it is hard to find time to write any updates... but without further delay here it goes...Gabriella's was excubated(her vent was removed). I can not believe all this was happening 3 days post op... Happy 1 week Birthday to you Gabi!!!! What a amazing gift for her since she was really annoyed with having that tube in her mouth. Our little girl was then placed on a nasal cannula at 2liters and 25% O2. She also started feeds through a NG tube (tube nose-stomach), all this in one day!The next day they discharged one of the sedatives, leaving her only Morphine and began OG feeds(mouth-stomach).Today Gabi is up to 1 ounce of breast milk every 3 hours increasing it 5ml every 12hours, which she is digesting well without any problems. She is also off the morphine.... OMG I almost can not believe it this all happening! She was a bit angry today being very fussy with diaper changes and changing positions. They needed to give her a rescue to calm her down. She has been through a lot so I don't expect her to be perfect...."She can cry if she wants to" ...Gabi is making unbelievable strides, I cant not believe how lucky we are! She is truly a blessing and we are grateful for every moment we have with her! I sometimes think I am dreaming, I had prepared myself for the worst and wondered how I was going to get through this and I now I find it hard to relax and enjoy it! I have to tell myself that Gabi IS coming home!Like Kanye West says "It's amazing, so amazing, so amazing" but SHE is amazing!Once again we like to thank all of you for the wonderful thoughts and prayers.. we are blessed to have so many people pulling for our little miracle Gabriella!I will try to keep the updates coming!Love and Hope, Joanna&Fil
