Day 12

Addy had another great night last night!  She has finally learned to quickly fall back asleep as soon as the RT's are finished doing CPT on her!  This morning Tasha (her RT yesterday and today) came in and did CPT on her first thing and switched her over to her nasal mask.  Addy did great on her nasal mask and wore it for 2 hours.  We are then put her back on her facial mask and we're planning on switching her back to her nasal mask again for her next treatment at 2.  We want her to get use to her nasal mask since that is what she'll use when we go home but are doing it in baby steps!  No word yet on when our Trilogy will arrive but we are hoping for Friday so she has the weekend to transition to her machine!  Many of you are asking when we get to go home and we still aren't sure on that!  We want her to be 100% better before we make the move out of the PICU and home because we don't want to have to turn around 2 days later and come back!  She will finish her 7 day Antibiotic today and so our plan is to get the rest of the junk out of her lungs!  We know that she's going to be more BiPap dependant for a few weeks post coming home and we are totally fine with that!  Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers.  There's no way we could have gotten through the past 12 days without them and we are definitely counting on them for the days, weeks months and years ahead!! 

Addy is sending BIG Congrats to her Aunt Allison for making Byrd's Varsity Cheerleading Squad last night!!  WAY TO GO!!!
