Sunday night Maycee update

Maycee had another good day today.  They were able to reduce her oxygen level down to 60% and her nitric oxide down to 10%.  They pushed her hard today and she responded well.  Tha plan is to let her rest through the night and then as long as she maintains where she is at they will try to push her again tomorrow to see how she reacts.  It's very scary for Darcy and I whenever they reduce a level on something because there is always the chance that her body won't react well to it and actually regress a bit.  She did have a period of time today when she was somewhat awake and moved around quite a bit.  She also opened her eyes for a few seconds and looked right at us.
The nurses have Darcy and I both helping with her cares as much as possible so we hold the feeding tube, change the diaper, help take her temperature and things like that so we are getting to act like parents a little bit instead of just observers all the time.  
We probably won't have any new pictures until Tuesday night.
