Well, how to start.... Today was alright. Maddie had a rough morning and her stats were all over the place. She'd be fine one minute and way low the next. This caused the doctors concern. They decided to run more tests today to recheck for infection, do x-rays, stop the increase in her feeds for now and go ahead with all the cardio check up stuff today. When I left this afternoon all the tests were normal that had come in. Also she had had a great afternoon. Her stats stayed right where we would like to see them. If she continues to to have this difficulty keeping her stats up they will likely try the bubble c-pap again. The doctor however is not thinking this will help to much, because she will need to remember to breathe and that is what our problem is right now. She is having these episodes of apnea which cause her stats to go down. So they might decide to put her back on the vent. I pray that doesn't happen. We have been told that this could happen, from the beginning they have warned us. She is so small. It has amazed everyone how long she has been doing so good.
We should know tomorrow the results of all the tests and the heart situation. Please pray that there are no major complications and that the heart is healing on its own.
Oh! She weighs 1lb 15oz! I just can't believe how fast she is growing. She looks so much bigger these days, but she's still a peanut.
