Day 96 - Cannulas are SO last week

Yesterday I got a call while working that Brooklyn was taken off her cannula. Wowzers! I may or may not have gotten a tad emotional during a meeting (sorry Gail). She only lasted about an hour, but Brooklyn would not be outdone. SO...today they tried again and she is cannula-free so far. Our little girl is breathin' like a straight up champ. Boo. Yizzy.

Oh, and B got another eye test today and her Level 1 ROP has not progressed, which is great news. The opthamologist said that her eyes are about 85% on the way to being mature. Once Brooklyn hits that 100% mature mark, there's a good chance the ROP won't advance; instead, her blood vessels will find a more constructive job by, you know, helping B see stuff.

And here are some pictures of the cannula-free kiddo. She's so freaking smushable!
