Project 3 Complete

Okay let's review: Project 1: Breathing Project 2: Feeding Project 3: Controlling Her Own Temperature The numbers I assigned based on when she started the project. She's completed project 1 since she's breathing on her own with no breathing support, although she continues to have desats and bradies. Project 2 is feeding. As you know, she's still working working on the final stages of Project 2. The first stage was to move from IV fluids to milk delivered through a feeding tube. This was significant because her digestive system had to work for the first time. The final two stages are to eat from a bottle and from a breast. Project 3 is regulating temperature. She's been in a crib wearing no more clothing than she will at home for about a week now. And her temperature has remained fine the whole time. So now I think it's pretty safe to say that Project 3 is complete.
