Hi everyone! :-) Well, Baby is now feeding well. My precious angel has eaten 90mL at each feeding, and 120mL at lunch! :-) They removed the feeding tube this afternoon! Yippee! Unfortunately, NiNi is still on oxygen. You wouldn't think 0.1L/min would make that much difference, but she is 98% on O2, 85% without. The docs think she still has excess fluid in her lungs, so her lasix is 4x/day til we are off the O2. We won't be allowed to go home til the lasix is 3x/day, and her sats stay >92% without O2. They weaned the ativan a little more today; she's tolerating it well. Every other day, either the methadone or the ativan is weaned, as long as she isn't showing withdrawal symptoms. NiNi continues to amaze me. She smiles and laughs, plus has started making babble sounds. She is a happy girl and such a joy. She loves music and has been enjoying the mp3 from Aunt Tammy- she loves music! The player has a soft bunny cover, and she likes the texture. Thank you to everyone for the continuous support! :-)
Awwww...love her panda outfit and the little bow in her hair - darling! So happy to see her looking more and more "chipper" each day. :)
ReplyDeleteShe is just beautiful and doing so well!!! You go NiNi! Can't wait to see that she's heading home with you:)
ReplyDeletePS- she has such long, elegant fingers! maybe she'll play piano? or throw a mean curve ball? ;)
She's looking so so sweet. Hang in there!
