Today has been a big day for our little Abigail. Her breathing tube was removed this morning and she is now on just a little oxygen for support. Also, the doctors have been keeping a close watch on her direct bilirubin level and this was down slightly this morning. The level is still very high, but it is a good sign that the level dropped. We just hope and pray that the level keeps dropping and the liver begins to function as it is supposed to. She still has a tube that is going into her stomach that is suctioning out any extra air or secretions. This will hopefully be removed in the next day or two and then we can slowly start feeding her. She is still getting nutrition from the TPN and lipids going in her IV.
Her uncle Ryan is on spring break and finally got to come see her!
