Getting our "hopes" up...

Yesterday was a great day for Journey.  She came off oxygen and we were set to go home this morning as long as she maintain her levels throughout the night.  At about 7pm they dropped again and wouldn't come back up without them turning on her oxygen...so that meant we would be staying the night again (night #4).  

We tried again this morning to take her off but had to put her back on again right away.  At about 10am we took her off again and she was good for almost 5 hours before her levels dropped AGAIN! One of the nurses told me this afternoon that most babies her age will stay about a week in the hospital with RSV.  She even said most of them have to stay in the NICU so we are very thankful to have Journey here in the room with us (me :0)  

The good news is that she is improving and that she is just needing a small amount of oxygen. She is nursing again and is starting to give us a glimpse of her old self.  We even got a little smile out of her late yesterday.  I've taken a few pictures of her to post once I get a chance.  

Jayden is doing fine hanging out with Demetrius.  I've been able to visit with him for a little while each day but he is in heaven having daddy all to himself.  He seems to be feeling all better so we are thankful for that!

Keep you posted...
