March 20th
The doctors have officially classified Clara as "Progressive" but she will remain in the "cootie ward" for the duration of her stay. They are pushing her pretty hard right now. She is almost maxxed out on her feeding (27 cc every three hours), her isollete heat has been lower and she must maintain her own body temp with clothes and blankets. She is not receiving any medications to assist her and they are trying to wean her 02 levels. Yesterday they had to increase her o2 levels during feeding because her saturated O2 levels would drop. She has not been as active as in the past but the nurses expect it because of the stress they are putting on her. Uncle Scott and Aunt Wendy come up to visit Clara and got to hold her for a few minutes. Krystal has a cold and is unable to see Clara until she gets better.
