Today Emma went on a differnt kind of breathing machine called an Oscilator. Its more harsh than the ventalator she was on the days before. It puffs her lungs up and keeps them open while it breaths for her. This machine is supposed to help make her heart work less. Judging by her vitals it seems to be working.
After the EKG they saw her PDA was going in two directions, up & down AND left to right. So they decided to hold off on the surgery and see if they can get it to go in one direction. (Ideally right to left)
My mom showed me how to tell if she was crying. At this point between the oscilator tubes in her mouth and her being so premature I can't hear her cry. But mom showed me that when she turns red and keeps opening and closing her mouth she is crying. And the best part, now that I knew she was crying I was able to hold her little hand and soothe her. .... Because I'm her MOMMY!
