Josephine is still in CICU and still attached to the ventilator...but she continues to make progress. Her kidneys have finally decided to start working (YAY!), her lungs are mostly clear, and I'm pleased to report she's a little over one pound up from her birth weight. :) Our next big hurdle will be helping her gain enough strength and endurance to be extubated.
On Saturday the RT changed out the tape holding Josephine's ET tube in place. Michael and I stood ready with the camera so that we could capture a few photos of her face, minus all (or most) of the tape. She's a little red (from having the tape pulled off) and a little unhappy (which you can see from the slightly perturbed, lip-tucked expression on her face), but she's still about the most beautiful baby I've ever seen. I'm only a tad biased. :)
