This evening we got the news that the Respiratory therapist was going to take Sophia off the respiratory medicine that she was on called Flowlan. This medicine helped reduce Sophia's Pulmonary Hypertension. Since her Hypertension numbers were very favorable and she was on the lowest setting they are removing the medicine. If Sophia reacts well to that being removed they will start to wean the Nitric that she is breathing. When the Nitric is weaned her vent settings will be the next thing for them to wean, which means she is working toward not being on a ventilator. We are not sure how long it will take to get her to that point but she is on her way!
