Kate continues to progress more and more each day. The last couple of days have been great. She has weened off almost every medication that she was on and continues to use less and less supplemental oxygen to keep her oxygen saturation where the doctors want it. Marcae and the nurses have been feeding Kate from a bottle the last few days as well. She is already taking as much from the bottle as she was before her surgery. Another great thing that has happened is as the doctors watched how much Kate was able to handle from the bottle they decide to pull her feeding from her intestines back to her stomach (NG tube). This is great news for us because it shows that Kate is growing out of her reflux and might be able to come off the reflux medicine soon.
Today was a great day because Kate was transfered from the ICU to the recovery floor. It looks like she is closer to coming home. We're not sure how long she is going to be here, but we're hoping that she'll be released sometime this weekend.
