Pippa's Birth Story - Page 2

My thoughts are with your family.

Thank you for all the good wishes.

Our girl had a great night. Her oxygen is down to 50% and she's getting 14 breaths per minute, so the rest is all her. They are lowering the nitric oxide. She was nicely pink even though she hasn't had any more blood yet. She will have a transfusion today. They also will continue giving her more breastmilk more often.

The doctor said she is a real fighter, and we are so pleased that she is doing so well.

I am so happy your little one is doing better. It really is scary when the docs start telling you all the things they think are going on (especially the bad and the scary) before they really know what is happening. I am sure hearing your voice, being held by you, and getting some of your bm are really helping your little one. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers!

My thoughts are with you and your family. Pippa sounds like such a fighter.

[CorbinsMama]

She's doing better. She's off the ventilator (just on a nasal cannula), off the sedation, getting breastmilk through a feeding tube. She's getting better every day and is really proving those silly docs wrong!

And -- finally! -- a pic with her eyes open:
