Not so much

Our strong girl did a good job with breathing on her own for a little while today. After about an hour, though, it became evident that her floppy airway was not allowing her to vent off her carbon dioxide and she had to be reintubated. They will likely do another bronchoscopy to determine whether it's a floppiness that she will be able to outgrow soon, or if it's one that is too severe and will require a tracheostomy before she comes home.

I was excited, though, to finally see her whole face! The nurse was even kind enough to use clear tape for her NJ tube.

I can definitely see the resemblance to her brothers! She is just the most precious little girl.

Todd just saw the computer screen and said,"Is that baby Brigid? I can't wait till she gets bigger so I can hug and kiss her!" Much love to you from all the Beckers:)

How wonderful to get a picture. She does look so much like your boys!
