Desat Day

Today Daniel had quite a few desats and they were lower than they had
been for about a week. The doctors did give him laseks to try to get
rid of some of the fluid in his lungs and also repositioned his
breathing tube. They increased his ventilator rate to 22. He seems
to be doing better now. He is still doing well with the feeding and
is now 1lb 15 oz.

Sofia is up to 7ccs on her feeds and should be at full feeds by
tomorrow. This means that her IV can come out too. She is 1lb 13 oz.
She did have desats today as well but not as dramatically. The
nurses like to say that they compete. They did reduce her pressure on
the ventilator to 18. Daddy got to hold her for the first time today!
