We had another uneventful day, which is always great. Dr. Bove stopped by and said that Audra is a "star" and "very strong"!! We told him that her name means noble strength and he said it is fitting :)
Audra has tolerated her feedings well and is up to 5 mL per hour. She is getting weened off most of her iv meds and is taking a few meds in her feeding tube now instead.
Audra had an echo this morning. Her heart function looks as expected, which is good. We will have a repeat echo on Thursday to make sure everything still looks good. Clinically, she is doing very well as all of her numbers are right in target.
We are still looking at moving to moderate care tomorrow. This is exciting but scary! We have had one nurse for Audra this entire time and in moderate care, it is 4 patients per nurse. This will be a big change but she shouldn't need as much direct attention. Thus, the moderate care. But it is still scary nonetheless.
Her chest dressings will get removed tonight at bath time. We are looking forward to that although not to hearing Audra cry as the nurse removes the sticky portion of the bandage :( Sorry baby!
We enjoyed some nice family time today! Thank you to everyone for your continued support and prayers!
