Weight- 580 grams (we are always reassured that weight can have some pretty big fluctuations)
Oxygen- the same although she didn't tolerate the weaning efforts today
Feeds- holding steady with 2.4 ml
Disposition- happy
Another peaceful day! Not a huge report on this sweet girl today. She has been tolerating her feeds well and they are going to hold steady there for at least another day or so. They are working on weaning her oxygen back and up until today we were doing good at that. I was reassured though that once they hit a certain point, they have to do a much slower weaning process. Her blood sugar is also coming back down on its own without any intervention. Her body is starting to figure out how to work in this world....
We did get a report on the cranial ultrasound. They did find a small bleed. A grade 1. I was told its in a location and its so small that it really is of no concern. The blood is usually reabsorbed by the body and unless she becomes symptomatic of something going on, that it is highly unlikely she will develop hydrocephalus (extra fluid building up around the brain).
Also really good news is they have had to start freezing my breast milk. I am making way more than enough to take care of her, but my pump has also become my constant companion. My other child in a way. My entire life revolves around the timing of the pump.
On the Lucy front, I spent my first few hours alone with her tonight since the surgery. She was an angel and kept giving mommy sweet kisses and lots of love. She also insisted on taking pictures of her "Halloween" kitty we got yesterday from Build-a-Bear.
I am so very blessed to be a momma to these amazing little girls. I cannot wait for the day when I can have my whole family together. Everyday we pray for that.
Until then.....
Good night from micropreemie world!
