8/17/09

Today was a better day for Rachel. I didn't go up there until late this afternoon, but she had been having a decent day. Her blood gases were good and her chest x-rays were better each time. The dr would like to her to be a little less active, but says that her activity doesn't hurt anything, but the Ocilator works best when the babies don't move.

She is tolerating the nurses and drs touching her for the hands on a lot better then before so that is also a step in the right direction. She was able to have tummy time too and seems to be much happier and do much better with her O2 during that time.

Her doctor is also going to start bigger feedings starting tomorrow, so hopefully that will go as well as the smaller feedings. They are also going to weigh her tomorrow. They really haven't tried to since before the surgery because she has been so touchy.

Here are the pictures we took on Saturday - She does look a little bigger to me, but doesn't really show much of a different next to the hat.

Enjoy!
