Cora- Day 8 Update

After being on the high flow of oxygen yesterday, they tried weaning her from all oxygen around midnight last night and it worked! She was able to sleep throughout the night without dropping her sats too low, and nursed many times as well (sleeping and eating without dropping were the two criteria she had to meet), and we were discharged late this morning! The final 'diagnosis' is just that her lungs stopped functioning at full capacity once she became sick, and so she wasn't able to breathe deep enough for good oxygenation which contributed to the low sats. Her sats are still much lower than normal, but they were high enough to get us discharged, so we are thrilled. Hopefully she'll continue to quickly improve every day. It is so nice to be home as a family of four! Thanks for all of the prayers!
