Hey Everyone,
Thanks for stopping by.
Things have been your typical NICU rollercoaster. Thankfully not with too many steep falls or climbs, however you want to look at it. We've had a week trying to wean her down on her air flow. She's had several really good days and then a rough one here and there. Nothing big, just having a hard time remembering to breathe. No new issues. We've decided to let her hang out where she is on her flow and let her grow and get a little stronger. In a few days we will wean her down a notch and go from there. If she does well on that we might be getting rid of the vapotherm (higher flow) to the regular nasal cannula in the next week or so. But we're not going to push it.
She is on full feeds still, but she's grown so they've increased. Now 7ml/hr. I think that is roughly 5oz/day. She is up and down on her weight this week but has gained overall. Today she weighed in at 2lb 5oz, down from the 2lb 8oz yesterday but it's ok.
We are still getting to hold her, which is always wonderful. Hunter keeps asking when he will get to hold her. Maybe when she is 4lbs....we'll just have to wait and see.
Keep praying!
