What a great day! Pooping is such a great accomplishment! Jacob's bowels got unknowingly kinked while his repair was being done so his pooping was an extra happy sign that he didn't have any dead bowel. It is so difficult to see your baby on the oscillator, but what amazing news that she will be getting off ECMO! Jakey didn't have ECMO so this was the most difficult thing for us to see him go through. In fact, the paralytic caused him to be so swollen, he was at times unrecognizable to us. We didn't take any pictures at his worst. We just had to keep in mind it was for the best to give his little lungs a rest and time to heal and grow. Don't get disheartened or discouraged if it feels at some point like you are taking another one of those steps backward. It's really just one more step on the road to recovery. :) I will be praying that all goes smoothly, specifically for her air pocket and that she doesn't fight the oscillator so they don't have to give her so the paralytic meds. <br /><br />Lots of prayers from the Rondeau Family!<br /><br />KatyKatyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16234860398975717215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918134938722284575.post-9714467524695999462012-04-30T16:12:31.158-07:002012-04-30T16:12:31.158-07:00Go Esther!!!Go Esther!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918134938722284575.post-49035859746542308982012-04-30T14:19:03.004-07:002012-04-30T14:19:03.004-07:00Ah the shaker ventilator, kind of hard to see them...Ah the shaker ventilator, kind of hard to see them on as they are constantly shaking, but can be good for their lungs!! p.s. I love the picture of her with her squished cheeks, we have lots of pictures of our little man like that, too. Esther is such a fighter, God is good! I heard this song today and thought of you guys "Blessings" by Laura Story.
