Rachel had a great night last night. She rested comfortably and behaved! There is a first time for everything!!!
She had some visiters yesterday, Great Grandma met her for the first time and her Aunt Chrissy and Uncle Rob came up as well. They changed her bed out - not just the bedding the whole bed and because of that I got to hold her.....it wasn't kangaroo care, she was wrapped up like a burrito and so darn cute!!! She did so well with me holding her.....hopefully daddy can hold her this weekend when he gets home, but that also depends on how she is doing with her breathing.
She is still off the vent and breathing on her own....such a big girl at 2 pounds! :) She no longer needs to have her blood gas checked for the time being so that is great. No longer poked for blood! Yes! I'm sure she is happy about that!! Maybe this will help her stay on the CPAP.....
She is also getting her caffeine orally now....they add it to her milk.....her own kind of latte!! She is now at 24 calories and will stay there for while unless she is not gaining weight fast enough.....I don't think that will be a problem...she's growing and gaining!! Go Rachel Go!
They are going to remove her picc line soon as well.....she is off the antibiotics and that is the only reason they kept it in after she was on CPAP......so she will not have any lines left....the only thing she will be hooked up to are the monitors for heart rate, O2 level, blood pressure, etc. She will still have to be suctioned, but it's not as much as when she was on the vent.
Here's to another good day for Rachel!!!!
Love
Jenny
