No more oxygen! Only a feeding tube!!!!

I got here at 2:00 today and Danika was doing great with her oxygen. Her nurse gave her a deep suctioning this morning and she got a lot of gunk out. Ever since then, she's been doing awesome with her oxygen satting high. So her nurse talked to Jackie the respiratory therapist about doing the "respiratory test" on her. They take her off the oxygen for 1 hour. If she drops down to the 60's, she has to pick herself back up within 15 seconds. If she drops down below 88 she has 5 minutes to pick herself up above 88.

She passed the test!!!!!

Her respiratory therapist is taking the nasal cannula for her oxygen off!!! Me, Danny, & Jess stayed in her room on the couch and stayed quiet trying not to bother her so that she would have the best chance possible of doing good on her respiratory test! They hung her prongs on the wall because she will probably still need the oxygen when she eats.

We gave her kisses before we left, but we didn't hold her because we wanted her to get use to not having the oxygen and we didn't want to make it harder on her. We also postponed bath time. We will do it tomorrow! :) She weighs 4lbs 13 oz. The physician assistant listened to her heart and she couldn't hear the murmur.
