Today was a very busy day for both CJ and Savannah.

Savannah was extubated from the vent around 8:30 am and is doing very well with her breathing. She is back on the Nasal Canula with very low settings. She also took 3 bottles, however, each bottle only had 15 mls. They have to start feeding slowly after surgery and will gradually increase over the next few days.

She also had her exam which shows she has mild ROP. Basically, she may need to wear glasses at some point.

CJ also had his eye exam and passed with flying colors. No ROP present. Both will get there eyes checked again in 6 mths. as a follow up.

The doctor even mentioned to Chuck that Savannah could possible be home in 10 days or so, as long as everything continues to go well.

Thank God :)

Today is a big day for Savannah. She is currently being extubated from the vent. Hopefully she will do better this time. She is also going to have a visit from her brother CJ, who is having an eye exam across the street from the hospital later today.

CJ now weighs 6 lbs 15 ounces
Savannah now weighs 6 lbs 14 ounces

Savannah had a decent day, but is still on the ventilator. We are hoping that they will be able to take her off tomorrow. Her incision also looked much better today.

CJ is doing well at home and loves to be held. He is definitely getting spoiled.

We were just informed that Savannah had to be re-intubated because she was having some major breathing issues with the Nasal Canula. They now have both arms in restraints to prevent her from pulling out the tube. They are going to keep her intubated for another few days so they can manage her pain, which they believe was the major cause of her breathing episodes.

The surgeon also wants the nurses to keep an eye on her incision because the color seems to be a little off.

Please continue to pray for our sweet little Savannah.

Our sweet little Savannah decided that she no longer need the ventilator and extubated herself from the vent. this morning. When the nurse heard the bells going off she noticed Savannah waving the tube in her little hand. They quickly put her on Nasal Canula at 3 liters to help her breathe. So far she is doing ok, but is requiring a lot more oxygen than she has in the past. We are hoping this will change as her pain medicine wears off.

Savannah is in the recovery process from her surgery which will take days. She is still on the vent. and will be for a few days. She really kept the day nurse on her toes because she was constantly having to change Savannah's ventilator settings. She was up and down most of the day. Hopefully the night nurse will not have to work as hard. They are keeping her heavily sedated to manage her pain. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for our little Savannah.
