Coming Home?

Anna will not be coming home right away. I think that I am confusing people by talking about the vent pressure and how excited we are to get that number down and to get the vent off. The vent is basically “life support”. Maybe when I was putting up prior entires I should have referred to the vent as a life supporting machine but it is hard to think that this 4 foot by 2 foot by 2 foot machine is supporting a life. Even though we are really close to taking away the “life support” and she is going to breath on her own, Anna still has some recovering to do at the hospital. At a minimum she will probably be here for a additional week after ventilator is taken off. She has never taken a bottle so she has to learn how to eat. Also they have to monitor to make sure that she does not take any steps backwards with her PPHN.
