relaxing weekend

 Now that Lyla is on the ventilator, she should have a relaxing weekend while the vent does most of the breathing for her. It's not a positive step to go back into this, but access to her lungs has allowed the nurses to get a lot of mucus out this morning, and it will help her support increased feedings and hopefully get her back to full feeds soon. Because the breathing tube is more invasive, she'll be a bit more heavily sedated, and will be sleeping most of the weekend so she won't have to battle medical tubes all day.
