Noisy night.... Peaceful Daisy

Daisy was released from isolation yesterday as her flu test came back negative.  This means Christina and I can finally touch Daisy skin to skin.  I know it seems like a small thing.... But when you have not had any skin to skin contact with your child for 18 days it is like nothing else.....magical.  It also means that we will no longer have to wear masks, gowns, and gloves.  She slept very well despite a noisy room last night.

She is continuing to be stepped down from her sedative using methadone... She is tolerating the slow weening of methadone well.  She remains on 2 heart meds as a precaution.  She is also still on a diuretic and her seizure prevention meds.

Her oxygen support has been turned down to 21% which is the same oxygen concentration as the air around us.  She remain at a 1/2 liter of flow support.

The doc seems quite pleased with her progress.
