Progress Continues...

Today was a good day for Alli.  Her sats have been in the 90's all day and her other vital signs have been more or less stable.  They were able to wean her epinephrine down to zero and are working on weaning her dopamine.  She is extraordinarily sensitive, so they have been up and down on the dopamine throughout the day.  They have started to adjust the settings down on her ventilator.  So far she is tolerating the changes well.  They started her on feeds today at 5 mL per hour and will slowly increase to eventually get her to 35 mL per hour.  Since they are feeding her directly in to the intestine they have to feed her at a much slower rate.  We are very encouraged by her progress to this point and are looking forward to seeing it continue through the night.

Good night!
