Off the Vent
Things are going well. Chloe came off the ventilator Friday night and has been off it since. They put her on a nasal canula intermediate support (a little more support than basic oxygen). They keep checking her blood gases to make sure she is handling it okay. They keep coming back really good. All of her vitals are good and stable. She was getting 4 cc's of breastmilk through a feeding tube every 3hours since yesterday afternoon, and now they have just increased it to 8 cc's. Her breathing has been a little bit labored with this, so we are hoping she is able to go #2 soon. Please pray for poopies. :) Infection is always a concern. Chloe now weighs 3 lb, 11 oz. Her weight should start going up now that she is getting breastmilk. We got to hold her last night. That was wonderful! More later... Duke will try to post some pictures tonight.

I'm so happy that Chloe is doing well. We will pray for poop and for the progress to continue!
Can't wait for more pictures!
p.s. I was really glad to see that her name was Chloe. I had called Joel on Friday to see if they had heard anything about your new baby and he said, "Yeah! They named her Cleo!" I was trying really hard to imagine "Cleo" as a baby girl name. :)
