Get that tube outta my nose

Daisy continues to work to maintain her oxygen saturation levels while asleep at ambient oxygen levels.  She seems to do just fine when awake.... But when she is snoozing she will drop just below the 88% threshold....making her warning alarms ding periodically.  Her anti-seizure and methadone (sedation step down) make her awfully sleepy.  When she is awake she is just a happy little girl.  She is quickly becoming a favorite in the NICU.  She is one of the largest kids in the NICU at 10 lbs 8.6 ounces.

I had some fun giving her a bath this evening... The little pink tubs they have here are tight for our 10 pounder but with our nurses help we made it work.

Daisy loves to grab her monitoring wires and her oxygen tube... She must not like it in her nose as she has pulled it out a half dozen times.
