Rachel had a good day today. She did have to get her caffeine dose upped since she is getting bigger and the dose she was getting was from when she was a pound.....her last round of steriods was also held due to her blood pressure being a little high....her blood pressure is high due to the steriods that is a side effect of it. But they will not give it to her until her pressure goes down.
This also means that her picc line removal is being held up, but she's had it this long so what's another day!
I was able to hold her today as well....after her hands on at 3 today I was able to hold her....It was not kangaroo care, just holding....it was nice. She also seems to like the pacifier....which helps her with learning how to suck and it also helps the enzymes in the saliva start going down with the food to help her break down the food (I learned that today while at the hospital)
So all in all, today was a good day. They will be weighing her tonight so that will be updated tomorrow morning.....Here's to tummy time and a restful night for Rachel!
