Quickie update on baby Grace.

Quick new update tonight...today was defininitely the day for Grace to start showing these doctors what she's made of! She suddenly started tolerating the nitric oxide to be turned down significantly, and has had her oxygen decreased by 9%. She was at 100% on Thursday, and if you all remember your ventilator knowledge from a few months ago, that's pretty serious. She's been at 45% the last couple days and is now at 36%! I knew we were going to start seeing big changes! She is not staying sedated as easily-I think she is starting to feel better now. She woke up a lot when she heard her daddy's voice tonight. Tomorrow she is being taken off 2 major medications-dopamine and milrinone-both for her heart. Doctor said tonight that after she is off them, I should be able to hold her!!! God is showing up in her healing, and Grace is showing what a fighter she is....really hoping we won't be here a whole week longer...
