Makenzie update!

Makenzie update! The nurse practitioner just called and said that her chest xray from this morning is better than they thought! They are pulling the line out of her mouth and are going to try to bottle feed her at 11:30. If she starts breathing too fast or too hard they will stop the bottle and put a feeding tube in and feed her that way. Either way formula is goooooooooood! She is down to 2 liters of room air a minute and this is down from 4 liters of 30% oxygen a minute! The NP even said they will do one more chest xray and be able to say for sure that she is pneumonia free! She wasn't willing to set that in stone until after one more xray but thats still one xray closer to going home! The results of that xray will determine if they can stop the antibiotics tomorrow or not, but she said they are leaning toward being able to stop tomorrow. Once the antibiotics are stopped Makenzie has to be able to bottle feed at least 30mL of formula, breath with no struggles or pressure and then we can go home!!!
