Kangaroo Day 4-15-08


Today we were wonderfully surprised to be able to start Kangaroo Care. I got to hold our precious little girl this afternoon for around an hour. It was HEAVEN. She just snuggled right down into my chest and slept. Her stats calmed down, except for when I moved. She got mad and pulled all her leads off, LOL. Already such personality. Jeff will get to kangaroo tomorrow, provided things are still going well.
Her labs all look good again today. No real changes. Still tolerating the breast milk, so they have increased again today. And she lost a little bit of weight today, which is what we want her to do. We would like to see her lose weight and go under her birth weight so we know she is not retaining IV fluids. Losing weight is normal.
Keep us in your prayers.

I'm glad to see everything is going well! Madison looks great, and I love the pictures. The one of her on your chest is amazing!! I'm sure that was a wonderful hour. Let me know if there is anything I can do. I am working at KCH tomorrow, so give me a call if you get a chance and maybe we can meet up!
Love you guys!
