Okay, the bad news. Sarah was not able to breathe without the ventilator.
Now, the good news. They tried to let Sarah breathe without the ventilator! This is absolutely huge, and brings us one step closer to having our little girl home.
Dr. Banks thought Sarah was doing well enough to try taking her off the ventilator and see how she reacted to the nasal CPAP. All of Sarah's ventilator settings were reduced to the minimum, and they put the nasal CPAP on her. Unfortunately, it didn't take and Sarah wasn't able to get off the ventilator. But, Nurse Jane said that Sarah may be able to come off the ventilator completely in as few as two or three days.
Once Sarah is off the ventilator, mommy and I will be able to hold her and begin the Kangaroo care, putting Sarah on our chest so she can feel skin-to-skin contact and hear our heartbeats. I CAN'T WAIT!!!
