I have to say again, what a little fighter Skylar is! Because she managed to pull her intubation tube out 3 times last week, the nurses and doctors finally decided to leave the breathing tube out and put her on the CPAP. She is doing so good! Skylar is doing a lot more work breathing, but she is building new muscles. Being off the vent is allowing her little lungs to heal because the vent had scarred her lungs pretty bad. Ryan and I also got to hear her voice for the first time on Sunday. She let out a little cry and it was beautiful, though sad because she was crying, but it was so nice to hear her. We also got to hold her, not skin to skin, but more like a baby where she was wrapped up in a blanket. Skylar loves her binky and she is learning to suck very quickly. She is up to 30 ml of food and tolerating it very well! These last few days have been awesome, our little girl is growing and improving more and more. We just pray that she may keep it up and keep on fighting so she can come home soon! Here are some pics below of her on the CPAP. It may look awful, but it is one step forward in the right direction.
