Last night Nina's nurse weaned her to 21%O2 (room air) so today Dr Cleary said let's try her without the cannula, so around 2 pm, for the very first time in her life, Nina was breathing on her own without any assistance. (Nurse Karen left the tape on her face just in case) but Nina is doing great so far on her own. We are so proud of her. Nina is weighing in at 3.5 pounds and hopefully tomorrow after the GI study, she can eat.

Yay!
That is one beautiful little girl!
Woo Hoo! I'm so happy for all of you! I don't know you, and I live in Illinois. I'm the mother of a 12 year old daughter and stumbled across your blog randomly. I'm hooked on cheering Nina on. Tell that little girl, Go!! Best wishes, J. Ford
Way to go Nina! Keep up the good work!

That is wonderful news!
It brought a big smile to my face as I'm sure it did to yours! She looks like such a "big girl" breathing on her own. And as a previous poster said, she is beautiful.
Such a beautiful little girl!!
Keep up the good work, Nina!

Hey Fox Family,
Wow, that is such awesome news!! A good lower GI series and now no SCUBA gear! Nina is proving to be one determined little girl. What a tough cookie. We think about you all the time and pray for all good things to come to little Nina.
LOVE and PRAYERS,
Kristin, Chris and Owen

Little Nina is in my prayers! I pray that His mighty hand would rest upon her and on the doctors and staff caring for her so that she can go home healthy and happy real soon! I'm so sorry to read about the loss of your precious daughters. You are in my prayers as well...I can't even imagine what you must be going through. God Bless! Tina, Mommy to 3 boys in Indiana
Leaps and Bounds for Nina today... We're so proud of her. Addy came off cannula at day 57 (the second time) and we're being discharged on day 77... Keep it up Nina! Adelina wants you to bust out of there.
Great job, Nina!
What wonderful news - brought a few happy tears to my eyes! : )

We're cheering you all on!! Nina is such a cutie pie. Please know you're in our thoughts and prayers.

Yeah Nina!!!! What a beautiful face she has without the nasal cannula on it. I'm hoping that her last GI study goes smoothly. It has been my experience that a baby with major GI issues does not do very well off of the vent, and certainly doesn't come off all O2 altogether! She is now fighting the fight for her sisters too. Keep it up Nina.

Yea Nina, you go girl!!!! That's so exciting! Keep up the great work!
Emily

She's beautiful! Praying that today's test result come back with good results. I'm sure they will.
What wonderful news! I love the pictures of Nina. She looks so adorable. I really enjoyed hearing that Nina's test went well and she is breathing on her own. That is fantastic!
