December 26th: It doesn't seem like we'll have too many changes today. In morning rounds, the team discussed weaning her oxygen to room air and increasing one of her cardiac meds. They mentioned pulling her feeding tube back from her small intestine to her stomach, but since she has only been tolerating her feeding well for one day, her surgeon would prefer to give her another day of good nutrition before making any other changes. So the plan for today is just to give her food and let her grow!
Evening update: It's been a pretty uneventful day...for the most part, just feeding and growing:) Some minimal changes were made to Em's medication regimen and she tolerated those fine. They tried discontinuing her oxygen again and Emmy reacted the same as yesterday- she wasn't having any part of it! It's amazing how much difference 0.1L of oxygen can make for a baby. With her oxygen, Emmy's sats are 90-100% but when they take it off, she drops to 60-70%. Looks like we'll be going home with oxygen too...that's fine with me, whatever gets us out the door!
