We are very happy to report that Rebekah had a great day today! She is still on the ventilator, although she is getting trial runs of breathing on her own every six hours. If she continues to sail through her trials with no problems, the vent will likely be removed tomorrow.
It seems as though the culprit of Rebekah's lethargy and apnea spells yesterday was indeed the prostaglandin medication she was on. Rebekah was much more alert and squirmy today. We even saw her eyeballs several times today! :)

Sweet little hand
In other news, we thought we were going to be able to move into a room at the Ronald McDonald House this afternoon, but things turned out differently than we expected. It ended up working out because we had previously made hotel reservations in the event that we were not able to stay at the RMH. We are very tired after an emotional couple of days and very little sleep! Our plan is to sleep tonight and then spend tomorrow with our little girl! :)
Our mailing address while we are in Charleston is:

That's about all for now. We are headed for some sleep!!
