Well it looks like plans for surgery are on hold for a while longer now. The surgeon really does not want to perform surgery on Melani until her oxygen is lower. Right now she is on 6 liters and their attempts to drop to 5 aren't working as of now...so she needs more time for her lungs to get stronger after the pneumonia. She was on 1 liter before she got pneumonia and she was on 1/8 liters while we were in Houston so she has really gone up since then. I just hope it doesn't take too long because everyone says that the babies always do better once they're home. They think that if she is still requiring this amount of oxygen before she gets intubated that she will have trouble being extubated...which we don't want, so whatever they think is best works for me. And as i suspected...the nurses really think Melani is teething. She has been a little drool tank these last few days and its only getting worse. LOL. While I was trying to put her to sleep last night she left a drool spot on my shirt. I had to put a blanket in between her face and me so that i wouldn't get soaked. =) She had no problem falling asleep and I was so happy that she was sleeping when we left. I hate leaving while she's awake! Her sleeping makes it so much easier. Melani weighed in at 8 pounds-10.5 ounces. A big drop from the last i heard which was 9 pounds-1.5 ounces...but she is only being weighed every other day and she is still on diuretics so that could be the reason for the big drop. I guess that's it for the update right now...I'm going to get ready to go see her now! So please pray that her oxygen level goes down and she is able to go to this final surgery!!!
