Sofia improving

Over the last few days Sofia's oxygen has gone down from 30 to 23% which is almost room air (21%). Then they will start weaning her pressure and rate down which is the real stuff. She's doing pretty well. She was a bit more cranky/fiesty than usual but is still taking a lot of her feeds through her bottle and mostly on the regular vs the slow flow nipple. She's still less than a month taking the bottle so it will be at least another month before she'll be all bottle but "luckily" she won't be home for 2 months anyways...

Mommy and Daddy continue along their training to become nurses. We're pretty much all signed off on everything we can be except for trach removal and insertion which can only be done once a week. We're hoping we can start doing our 12-hour stays around President's day which should have us all ready to go for her to be home by April.

Except for setting up home nursing which is, of course, a huge pain due to the high demand for nurses and because she needs 24 hour care.
