Her breathing treatments continued today, and they added CPT or chest physical therapy, which they had done previously as well. They knock on her chest and back with a soft silicone bell-shaped thing to try to loosen the secretions in her lungs. No worries. They knocked me with it too, and it's not even bothersome. In fact, I watched the respiratory therapist do it this afternoon, and Blair slept through the whole thing. We think it might feel good to her! The treatments and CPT must be helping, because they have been able to come down on her oxygen almost 10% today to 42%. She has been on 50% for a couple of days and has not tolerated a decrease until today.
Today, the nurse let me change her diaper twice! How exciting, right? Funny how doing a dirty job like that can make you happy when you're in a situation like ours. I'm sure I'll be looking for someone else to change her diapers before too much longer! The nurse also told me that Blair could have shoes, so she's now got warm toes and is the most stylish baby in the NICU!

Cozie tootsies! That HAS to feel better! And, they're SO pretty!! She is precious. We are still praying for y'all. I'm just wondering, when y'all get home, how many times a day are you gonna be changin' her clothes?!? It's like playin' dress up, huh?
