I'm in Jackson right now and have been having great visits with her! She is up to 2 lb 9 oz! Can you believe it?? Unfortunately, she is off of her diuretics right now so some of that is fluid. They did up her feeds to 22 ML/3 hr. They are soon going to try and bring her pressure down to 1/2 L. She has been on 23%-25% oxygen and 1 L pressure. Her length is up to 14.2 inches! She was 11.5 inches at birth. I can really tell she is getting bigger and one way is she is a lot harder to flip over. We are constantly turning her from back to side to belly to side... and used to we could just flip her like a pancake and now it is much harder and a little more awkward.
I went up for her bath last night. They got an admit of twins so the nurses were way occupied. Her nurse said "you are on your own tonight" (with a smile on her face). 'We' have done the bath by ourselves for a while but don't usually change her bedding or hook her back up to leads and all. Well last night I would be by myself (without Rob). Good learning experience for me. I bathed, held her while I changed bedding and put all new leads back on her and hooked her up. I felt a new sense of accomplishment. I told her we were both learning and would get this by the time we went home!
I have to run but wanted to give latest update! Love you all!
