Ups and downs

Since Hazel is off the lights again, I (Heidi) was able to hold her again today. She did well and just slept the whole time. Definitely an "up" for us! Also, the doctor told us that they are going to try and switch Hazel to a nasal cannula tomorrow instead of the CPAP. We're really hoping she does well. We'll finally be able to see her whole face!

As for the down, Jude now has a respiratory infection. He's been needing a little extra help from the ventilator the past few days and the doctor ordered a test to be done on some thick "stuff" that was appearing when he was suctioned. They aren't sure of what the infection is yet, but he started on antibiotics today. Hopefully, once the infection is cleared up, he will be able to get off the vent quickly and onto the SIPAP. He is still taking very few breaths on his own. Please pray that he starts breathing better very soon! We are still in constant prayer about his brain bleed and especially praying that it clots and drains naturally and that his head does not show any signs of swelling.

Thank you for all your prayers and support.
