Happy 7 Weeks Old!!

Here's my Geeg on her 7 week birthday. (My sister coined the name GG and then we shortened it to 'the Geeg'). She is doing a lot better today. She is not running a temperature. Her heart rate and respiratory rate are much better today too. They are giving her two different antibiotics that will target her exact infection. She seems to have responded to them well. They have come down off her high flow nose cannula from 5 to 3. The next step is going on just a regular oxygen flow nose cannula like she was on before. She is gaining weight and weighed 9.2 pounds today. They took her to 'Flouro' and took an x-ray of her abdomen to see if they could find out why she is breathing so fast. The x-ray showed a partial paralysis of the left side of her diaphragm. This will supposedly self heal over the next few weeks. Apparently it is pretty common to nick the nerve during surgery. At least we have an answer as to why she will continue to breathe fast. So, let's get a move on GEEG, let's go to the third floor!! I have to admit, I'm getting a little tired of this joint.
