No Lines!!

Yesterday was a BIG day for Gabriella. Its official she has NO lines running through her body!!!!! She does have the OG tube and will have that for a while I'm told, as preemie babies have a hard time doing more than one thing at a time-eating, sucking, and breathing. This is HUGE for her. The infection possibilities are decreased with having no lines.
 She is now on regular cpap. This is giving continuous air flow through her nose to her lungs. Before she was as on biphasic cpap which was actually giving her pressured breaths and continuous airflow through her nose.
Her blood gas this morning wasnt the greatest it has been. (This is the way her body is pushing off the CO2), but the plan is to hold tight and see what she does today and tomorrow.
We are learning more than we ever wanted about preemies and respiratory! But sitting here day after day it helps knowing what is going on and why it is happening. Google is my best friend!!!
Tim and I cant thank everyone enough for the support and prayers everyone has shown our beloved daughter. I cant put into words how deeply touched we are. Know this the prayers are working, and keep them coming!!! If there was ever a doubt that God hears prayer look at Gabby and you will be instantly reassured he does far more than "just hear" , "he heals"!!
Lots of love
Tiff, Tim & Gabby
