December 29th: Emmy had a good night...no more arrhythmias. The cardiologist is happy with her response to the Amiodarone. Her blood pressures continue to run on the low side, so her Captopril is being decreased again. Her Methadone is also being weaned to once a day and she will be off of that in 2 days. They plan to remove the oxygen again today and see how she responds, and we will also re-attempt oral feeding to see if she is any more interested than she was last week. Finally, she will have her hearing screening and car seat study in preparation for discharge home TOMORROW:) I can't believe I'm saying that...now she just has to cooperate with the plan!
Evening update: We had a grrrrreat day! Emmy did everything she was supposed to without any arguments:) She had no arrhythmia issues, she's tolerating her medication changes well, we were able to remove her oxygen while she was awake, and she ate a small amount from a bottle without any choking or vomiting! She also passed her hearing test and her car seat study. She's done absolutely amazing today...I guess she's finally agreeing to come home! Tomorrow should be our big day- I am so excited to bring little Emmy home and have our whole family together:)
