A slightly better day for Miss Chaffin today.
The big news first - she is now over 1kg! Stephen and I thought it would never happen. We're both obviously really pleased that she is now putting on weight.
Her breathing support remains the same - 6 litres of vapotherm. She seemed slightly more settled today on it. Her resps are still over 100 at times, but less frequently than before. At times she was on about 24% of oxygen, increasing to around 28% when needed.
She seems to like sleeping with her legs out over the edge of her bed - it looks really uncomfortable, but she must like it as she keeps getting herself into this position. She also managed to completely turn her head from laying on one side to the other today, much to the nurses surprise! She managed to pull the vapotherm tubes out of her nose twice today too, so she must be feeling a little better. The dummy also seemed to be more in demand today.
As the blood cultures are not back, she remains on the anti-biotics and is still on the continuous feed. The eye test didn't happen today - apparently someone calculated the days incorrectly, so this will happen on Monday next week.
