Emily got her PICC line out today! Check out this pic - I think it's hilarious that she seems to be pointing at her leg, where the PICC line was until today. It's like she's saying, "Look! It's gone!"

The rest of Emily's bloodwork came back and showed no signs of infection! So, they stopped antibiotics and were able to remove the PICC line because she doesn't need it for nutrition anymore. She is now up to 19 cc's of breast milk every 3 hours - for reference, 1 oz = 30 cc's.

Today they also turned down the breathing rate on the ventilator, they are trying to slowly wean her off of it. Hopefully in a few days she will be ready to step down to the CPAP.

I'd say it was a good day for Miss Emily! Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers for our little girl.
