I'm very sad to report that the medication given to Caili didn't help. She struggled all of Saturday night, and on Sunday morning they put her back on CPAP--which blows pressurized air into her nose. That didn't work either, and this morning at 3 AM we got word that she's back on the vent. They think she may have an infection, and they're giving her antibiotics to fight it while they wait for the test results to be sure.
They told us she would get an infection at some point--it's nearly unavoidable for a 24 weeker apparently, so we're certainly blessed it happened now when she has some reserve as opposed to weeks ago when she was already struggling.
We'll update you all when we know more. For now we're just hoping, praying, and trying not to be too scared. The events of this week have made it all too clear to us that nothing can be taken for granted in the NICU--or in life in general for that matter. But she's strong and determined like her mom, and with so many people praying for her and the great care she's receiving she'll pull through this and be off the vent again soon.
As always, thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
