Friday's Update

Trey has remained on high-flow oxygen, but not without some hard work!  They have altered between four and five liters of pressure (generally in the NICU the highest they go is three, but Trey is too old for CPAP so they are making it work with some high-flow adjustments) and despite a slightly elevated respiratory rate he is managing on four.  We met the lung specialists today who has become part of Trey's care team.  Trey will see him as an out-patient in years to come so it was nice meeting him and getting his perspective at this early stage.

Stella continues to do well.  She grows more and more everyday, and always brings a smile to our faces.

Thanks to Michelle and Jay Garrow for thinking of us when they would be visiting Burlington for an appointment.  Michelle has lived the RSV nightmare and was very respectful about not touching Stella or allowing Jay to get too close.  We had a nice lunch at Applebee's and were lucky because nobody tried to get in Miss Stella's face and she slept through our entire meal!
