Noelle had a pretty good day today and was able to rest most of the time...well, in between the eye drops every hour and the heel sticks to check her blood sugar almost every hour. That was the main struggle today--her blood sugar. It was pretty low all day while they adjusted various fluids, but finally tonight it seemed to be back in normal ranges and stabilizing. We are very grateful for that since "central line" was mentioned as a final resort if they could not get it stabilized. She has not had that in weeks, and we do not want that being put back into her. We're praying that her blood sugar continues to stay stable so they can start increasing her feeds and getting her back to her "baseline" where she was before all of this started on Tuesday. She has not gained any weight this week, and she needs her food in order to be able to start growing again. She has been able to wean down on her ventilator settings today, so hopefully she will be extubated sometime tomorrow.

While she did sleep most of the day, she certainly was not out of it and was her feisty self, pushing back against things being done to her. It is nice to see that side of her again and know that she seems to be feeling better. The swelling and redness in her eyes is already decreasing, and she is just looking more comfortable overall. I hope we can report tomorrow that she is off the ventilator and increasing on her feeds again and getting back to where she was originally. Thank you for continuing to pray!!
