Hello All,
We are happy to report that Riley is out of e ICU and is now on the floor to work towards going home! We are so excited for this development as it means that the end is near (about 4 weeks out per our Drs estimate). Riley has been starting to wean off the Ativan and is continuing to have mommy's milk put into her NJ tube. We have also weaned the oxygen from 2L to 1.5L today. Riley has been a little stuffy so she has a constant "humidifier" going as well as nebulizer treatments 4 times a day.
The floor is very different from the ICU. We are able to take a more active role in Riley's care. We can change diapers and hold Riley whenever we want which is such a huge reward! She graciously added to that reward by giving us a dirty diaper today that even made the nurses go "oh my god!". I think she thought it was funny.
Daddy came for a visit today, but is back with Chase now. We are two lucky ladies (and one lucky dude) to have such an awesome man in our lives!
That's GREAT news to hear!! :D
