It was a pretty quiet day in the NICU. Vivienne continued to make slow but steady progress with ventilator and pain medication weans. Her feedings have been going well and are now at 10 ml. every three hours. She also got a bath overnight, and we were able to dress her in a onesie and swaddled her for the first time. Unfortunately she is still intubated. The doctors decided to order a MRI while she's still hooked up to the ventilator (just to make sure everything looks normal with the brain - they do it for all CDH babies). The MRI should happen tomorrow, and extubation will be a possibility after that.

Tomorrow marks one week post-surgery. Viv really looks great, and we're so pleased with her progress. Dave spoke with another CDH mom today who has been here for seven months. Things can be frustrating at times, but we certainly realize how good we have it and are very grateful.
Go, Viv!!! She's adorable as a burrito :)
