Not much to say...and that's o.k.

So there is not much to say today. Olivia is doing great! She is taking all her gut priming feeds by bottle and doing well with it. They lowered her oxygen to 1 liter and she is doing well with that. That is about it.
Emma is holding steady. Her blood gases this morning were good as far as the ph level. The CO2 was not the best so they brought up her pressure a little from 32 go 34. That seemed to help. They lowered her nitric oxide from 5 to 4 and she seems to be doing well. She does so well when Mike is in there visiting her. The nurses said tonight that if she keeps reacting like this to Mike being there, they are going to tie him to her bed. Hey, whatever it takes right?
Alyssa and Loren are going to visit Grandma and Grandpa Miklik for the weekend so that will give Mike and I some good visiting time with Olivia and Emma. Keep you prayers coming!!
Love to all,
Bethany
