This is right after they closed her chest. Her teddy is helping hold up her tubes and she likes to hold things so I gave her a little tube to hold, so cute!
This is one of my favorite pictures, isn't she so cute! She's actually being punished in this picture because she kept pulling on her breathing tube which she did pull out once, so they put a mitten on her. Her other had has her ART line in it which is where they draw blood and keep check on her blood pressure.
So this is her on high flow which worked for about 18 hours but she was working so hard to breath that they were affraid that she would get tired and stop, so they put her on C PAP.
This is C PAP, it's one step down from the ventlator. Don't you just love her little hat!
This is Shelby after they took out her 3 heart lines, so the black dots are from those and where her chest tubes were. The blue lines are her pacers, so in case her heart stops beating they can "jump start" her! But they actually took those out today but sorry no picture of that yet. That's also one of her many binkies but sense her toung is swollen they don't really stay in so they just sit there kind of but she likes it, so who cares! I will try to up date more but honestly I'm pretty busy.

oh my goodness she is soo cute. I love her. Look at her hair. It looks curly. She is such a miracle. Congrats!
Just wanted to send mine and my moms congrats and prayers. We hope the best for you and your new family.
So, is she still on just CPAP, or back on the vent? Gosh, Tristan was on the vent for what seemed like SO long, and had a pretty hard time being weaned off too.
I think she's doing great, considering all her odds, she really is a fighter, and that's just what she needs to be!
What a miracle baby. She's a fighter, that one.
