Things are good

Taken from Ryan's email:

Abby is off the ventilator for now and on the CPAP, which is the nasal respirator. It looks terrible but it's much better for her and not as damaging to her lungs. The question now is whether or not she'll be able to maintain the breathing on her own. The CPAP does help her, but not nearly as much and she really has to work for those breaths.

Mommy got to hold her today, which of course, Kelly was thrilled. Abby was quite restless because of the CPAP going up her nose, but Abby calmed down immediately after mommy started holding her. It was amazing. Say some prayers that she'll be strong on the CPAP.
