She is doing well tonight. We just got back from the hospital and she was sucking on her ventilator tube and sometimes her finger. Her nurse said that is a good sign because she is comforting herself. She took the Indomethacin medication pretty well and they will be doing her second echo tomorrow to see if the first round of 3 doses worked. We will know tomorrow if she will need a second round.
They checked her platlets today and she was down just a little so they ordered a transfusion of platlets for her. It will take about 2 hours for it to be completed. It is pretty normal for that to happen as well, especially for preemies that are getting the Indomethacin.
She still has her Umbilical cord lines - they said that could be a few more days. It's not a bad thing that she has them, since some things that they are giving her cannot go through her picc line. Those lines are just meant to be temporary. Once those are removed we can start the Kangaroo Care. Which is they lay her on either my chest or Rob's and its comnforting for both us and Rachel.
She also had a little bit of a poopy diaper already! That's also a good thing!!! I'm getting pretty good at changing her diaper, but not sure if I'm ready for the poop yet! :)
We'll be going up again tomorrow and will have more updates. Here are some newer pictures. Enjoy!
Love Jenny and Rob
Yah! Poopy Diaper :-) Go Rachel Go! Poop Rachel Poop! Leah xox
