Hey Everyone,
The NICU rollercoaster is ever changing. One day has it's own set of challenges different from the next.
All weekend Maddie had trouble breathing. She went way up on her O2 support, and at several times I thought we were looking at the vent. Turns out she had some air in her intestines (which they just have to wait till it comes out on its own) and reflux going on. She was so busy trying to get all that junk out she just couldn't handle breathing well to. But as soon as she got it out she could breathe again and is back on room air. She seems much more comfortable today. Today, however, her O2 was fine but her heart rate was all over the place. It was mostly high. They decided to hold off on an albuterol treatment so hopefully that helped to slow it down.
We have reached the 2lb mark. She was kind of up and down on her weight last week so it took longer than expected to get there. She doesn't quite look like 2lb's yet, but she has definitely grown. Even her hair is getting a little longer and thicker.
Keep praying for us. We need all the strength we can get.
Thank you!
