Update

Sofia has been reintibated. Not because of breathing issues but because her nose was getting damaged by her NIPV/CPAP. Supposedly this is normal for preemies but of course we don't want her on the breathing tube for long, even though they are absolute minimum settings. She is also soon moving off of fluid feedings and will move to feedings of milk only. Which is great news.

Daniel is doing great today, they are increasing his milk feeding and went down on his ventilator.

Raymond continues to struggle. He hasn't significantly improved and they did had to raise his oxygen overnight. Blood pressure has been increased and he is lower on dopamine but things aren't looking good.

We're continuously thinking good thoughts for all three, and especially Raymond as he fights to recover from the infection. He's a brave little guy and very beautiful and we'll keep pulling for him.
