This afternoon Maria began the process called "sprinting". Since her birth, she's been wearing the CPAP. Now she's switched to the nasal cannula every six hours. Sprinting means that she will switch between these two devices every six hours. Sprinting is the first step toward weening her off the CPAP. If she can breathe well with few alarms on the cannula, then hopefully the CPAP will be a thing of the past...let's pray that she can sprint successfully!
Since she came off the ampicillin, the nurses think that she is developing a bit of thrush. Her diaper rash is not improving, so she may also have a yeast infection. They'll keep a close eye on her in the next couple of days to determine a course of action.
