Well today didn't go as expected. Her lungs haven't developed like they should. They took her off of her jet ventilator and tried a conventional style ventilator and that worked for about three hours, and then they tried the oscillator style and they still weren't happy. They took an xray of her lungs and a ultrasound of her heart and discovered that her PDA opened back up. They did surgery at 5pm to close the PDA and she is recovering now. This already has lowered her oxygen requirements and she is doing better.
