Looking good!

So Caydence is looking much better today. It seems like whatever it was that she had going on the last few days is passing. She is getting back to her baseline with her breathing and everything. We were even able to make a rate change on her ventilator today. She is getting very close to the point where we can get that breathing tube out of her. We are hoping that over the next week we will be down low enough on all the settings that we can start seeing what she can do without it. Even if we are able to get the tube out she will still at least be on C-Pap for a while. Dr. Zebrack (our primary doctor) came in today to check on her and said that all the doctors are getting more optimistic about her coming off the vent. It was nice to hear that everyone is leaning more toward her getting off then not. She really is doing great compared to where she was a month ago. She is so much more comfortable now and her breathing is better than ever before. We just need to get her to gain some more weight. She has been starting to smile a lot now which is super cute. I can't believe how happy she is considering all that she's going through. She is one tough little girl! I am getting more anxious everyday just waiting to see if we are going to be able to pull that tube out and how she is going to do. I want more than anything to have that tube out and start treating her like a normal baby. I'm tired of having to watch her just lay there and not be able to move much.
