Today started out as another plateau day, but by the end of the day things had improved. The day began with no changes being made to the ventilator and the nurses discussed now I was between a rock and a hard place because I need the ventilator to help me breathe, but the breathing tube can cause increased secretions. My weight went up to two pounds and four ounces and I grew by a quarter of an inch. So although I am having breathing problems, it is to be expected because I am a preemie. The important thing to remember is that I am making gains both in weight, length and lung maturity, the rest happens on God's timetable, not ours.
