Last night was the first night for Aliyah off the ventilator. The nurses reported a few moments where she she struggled, but we all know that is a part of life. Overcoming challenges is a sign of growth.
During the first few days after Aliyah was born, the hardest thing to watch was her vitals (specifically her heart rate). It was very much like a roller coaster. It would be going along at 150 bpm then drop to 50 bpm. Simply rotating her from her from her left side to her right side would cause this change. I'm thankful she did well enough last night and today for the doctors to leave her on the respirator. That is a blessing and sign of growth. She also gained weight. She is up to 1 lb 13 oz. Aliyah is one day closer to coming home with Christal and I.
I'm proud of you Aliyah. Keep up the good work!
