Taylor is doing pretty good so far. Her oxygen level has been turned down several times now. She got a CPAP treatment earlier which was something we hadn't seen before. Basically they give her pure air through a CPAP type tube attached to a mask that is placed over her face. She exhales against it and its pressure. It is meant to help get things moving in her lungs. She also got some epinephrine, but that didn't seem to do anything (much like at Salmon Creek).
She is not sedated anymore and her heart rate is back to normal. Michelle was arguing with the nurse today that they have been over-sedating Taylor. Once she was taken off, she went back to normal.
The one thing that has a bit bugged right is that Taylor hasn't coughed. And judging by the noise and feel of vibrations in her chest and back, she needs to cough. They will be doing another CPAP treatment soon and an albuterol treatment soon. The albuterol always seemed to get her coughing before, so maybe that will be the ticket.

Good job Baby Girl, and good Job Mommy and Daddy. Mothers intuition proved right yet again! I hope you have both had a chance to hold her. Maybe she just needs to be upright for a while to get that urge to cough. I know its harder to cough flat on your back. Hope she is feeling better soon. HUGS and KISSES
