Showing off her big tooth.....she's got quite a mouthful!Yes.....we are still here, but Kate is getting better and better each day. As you can see, we've tried her on a nasal cannula. She is getting 4 three hour trials on the cannula each day. So far, she has done really well. The goal is for her to handle being on the cannula during the day and BiPAP at night. From the way things are going, this may be possible. We are willing to wait as long as it takes, though because it beats the alternative. She is much happier when she gets a break from the BiPAP. It's great because her doctor says that she loves when her patients prove her wrong and Kate has done that. She wasn't very optimistic about Kate going home without a Trach. We still don't have an idea as to how much longer she is going to have to be here, so we just have to be patient.

I am so happy she is moving the direction of going home--you can't beat that! She is so darling!
My dad's wife is Paula Rasmussen and she works in audiology. She works at the hospital downtown on Monday's and Friday's and she is in Taylorsville on Tuesday's and Thursday's. My dad plans to come on monday (he is actually visiting down here right now :) !)
Take care, you guys!
Oh, by the way, yes, Matt is loving his job. It still feels a little weird to be done with school since we did that for so long, but it is definitley better!
I'm glad Kate is doing well on the cannula. Hopefully it won't be too long until she can go home. Tell Kate we're cheering for her! Sure love ya.
Yeah!! Everyday it just gets better. Can't wait to see her tonight...Maddy has been a pill with teething, but hopefully we can have a great time at dinner. I'll call you!
We are so happy Kate is doing so well. Hopefully, she can go home soon.
I did get your email, thanks. I worked on it a little, but I still haven't completely figured it out. I may have to call and ask you a few questions.
Anyway, let us know if you need anything.
Love, Regan & Miranda
