Holding steady

Joey is now 12 days old and he's holding steady with all of his settings and meds. The nurses are going to ask about weening his dopamine (blood pressure med) down and maybe off today and getting his sedative down some more. He's still on room air (no additional oxygen needed) and has been for a day and a half. He's still off the nitric oxide and the respiratory therapists stopped the percussion last night. We'll see how he does without it if he can get his mucous (snot) out on his own. He's still getting a couple of inhaled meds to help him out, but nothing too drastic. He's doing a good job, but PLEASE keep praying. Thanks.
