Day 42: Slight Improvement

Vivienne was a little better today but was still dealing with withdrawal symptoms. She was up crying most of the night which exhausted her enough to allow for a few hours of sleep this morning. The crying continued when she woke up, but it was a bit easier to calm her down. Thankfully she seemed to be acting more like her old self by late afternoon. Her team decided not to wean her today and may hold off tomorrow as well depending on how she does overnight. There are three more phases of the weaning plan left. A fourth phase will allow for "rescue" doses as needed once she's off of the continuous dose.

Here's our little peanut during one of her calm/content periods:

Self-soothing with the pacifier. Her skills have improved a lot since last week.
