Soon to be off ventilator

Ari has been doing really well. Soon she will be off the ventilator. They say that will be her next hurdle, breathing on her own with the help of CPAP, which simply puffs air in her nose to encourage or reminds her to keep breathing....a nurse described it like sticking your head out of a car window while it's moving...the wind makes you take a deep breath.

She's been doing better with tolerating her milk. Just having a hard time staying on a "pooping" schedule. I guess breathing, digesting the milk, and pooping is too much to process all at once :)
