very small steps forward

Not a whole lot to report from today. Caley appears to be continuing to fight off the infection. Every culture and test they did was negative, so we will never know what the infection was/is, but they'll finish the 7-day course of antibiotics and hopefully knock it out of her for good.

The doctors restarted her feeds today, with tiny amounts -- 0.5 ml per hour, on a continuous feed schedule. She was also slowly weaning off of her oxygen and breathing support today. The hope/goal is to be able to extubate Caley by the weekend.

That's about it. We're thankful for a relatively uneventful day in the NICU today.
