Jordi Vilasuso Instagram – Happy one month (and happy due date!!!) to this little peanut !!!! 🎉🥳 Lucy had a GOOD day yesterday. And my goodness did we need a good day. 🙏🏻
Her doctors had turned down her CPAP (the pressure that she’s getting oxygen) from 6 to 5 on Sunday to try to start weaning and she really struggled. She was having desats throughout the day and coughing a lot and her respiratory rate kept spiking.. she was pulling her feeding tube out and they kept having to put it back in and it was just a really rough one.
Then yesterday, for whatever reason, they decided to give her a chance to get off of the machine and see how she would do with the regular cannula and my goodness did she surprise us 🙌🏻😭 Her stats were better all day than they had been the day before and she was doing so well that they let her try bottle feeding. I attached the video of her tasting milk for the first time since she went to ICU and girlfriend loves eating as much as her mama. She tolerated the bottle feeds the rest of the day and they were able to remove the feeding tube last night.👏🏻
Providing things keep improving (🙏🏻), we’re going to try breast-feeding today and see how her stats look. She’s on an oxygen of two right now, so they’ll try to start lowering that as the day goes on and see how she does. I’m trying to manage my expectations because I get sooo excited whenever something positive happens and then it feels like I’ve been hit by a ton of bricks whenever there is a setback, BUT for the first time since we got here- it feels like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel 🙏🏻
Thank you, thank you thank you for lifting her up!!!! We humbly ask that you continue to pray for her healing and continued wisdom for her incredible team of doctors and nurses. And perhaps throw in a prayer for her tired and emo parents if you have an extra to spare.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 We ❤️ you! | Posted on 31/Jan/2024 08:25:02
