one step forward, two steps back

OK; its not really true to say that this is a step back, or so the nurses tell us. Basically they told us that her lungs were still underdeveloped, and that she was breathing really shallow on the cannula (the nose tube thingy) so they put her back on the C-Pap, that mask contraption that is hooked up to her nose. She is fine; she just needed to take deeper breathes. They also found a bunch of fluid in her lungs, and they are getting rid of this through a drug called lasiks that is a diuretic, which makes Savannah pee a lot to get rid of the fluid. Anyway, we don't like it, Savannah doesn't like it, and we hope she isn't on it for long. They tell us that she probably will be on it for maybe a couple of days at the most right now. We can only just wait and see. Please pray for her lungs if you are reading this.

This is Shoshanna's grandmother in Stillwater, OK just wishing you well. I know what a rollercoaster ride you are on. May Savannah grow and prosper!
