8/23/09

Rachel is having a good day again today. They did have to turn her up on the Ocilator because it showed some haziness in her lungs that could be due to them not being fully inflated.

While we were there she was on her belly......she does behave so much better!! And her nurse said she did really well when they changed her vent tube! Yeah Rachel! She was also weighed again today and she went down a little, which is normal....she is now 919 grams or just 2 pounds......which is still over her birth weight! The doctor said that her weight will fluctuate for a little bit. She does look a little bigger to us.

She is still getting her feedings and they should have upped it again by 1.5 ml's at her 6pm feeding. We haven't called to get an update yet since we left the hospital. She did open one of her eyes today for a little bit and it was when Rob was sitting by the incubator....it was so cute!!

Here's to another quiet and good night for Miss Rachel!

Love,
Jenny and Rob
