4 weeks

Well yet another exciting week for Hailey, we almost lost her the other day due to the oscillator tube not being in her correctly and there for was not helping her breathe. So they had to put another tube down her throat to correct it. Then the tube was too deep and was only inflating the right lung. They eventually placed the tube correctly and she stabilized. They also started her on a nebulizer treatments which have helped her keep her lungs open. On Monday afternoon the doctors decided to take Hailey off the oscillator and put her on CPAP. She had a rough Tuesday morning but we are hopeful that she will continue to progress. This morning they started her on steroids to help develop her lungs and she is fighting the pneumonia pretty well. We hope it will be totally gone by the end of the week. Hailey weighs 1 lb. 8 oz. and counting were so proud she is getting some meat on her bones.
