Just wanted to update everyone on our little girl. Here are a few highlights:
1. She has moved to the NICU 2. This nursery is for babies that are stable.
2. She does continue to alternate feeding between a feeding tube and the bottle. They are doing this so that she can maintain her strength. If she were to eat every feeding from the bottle, she would burn more calories than she would be taking in.
3. Her jondus level is low enough that she no longer needs the "photo therapy" that she was receiving.
4. She has maintained her own body temp for about 24 hours. She isn't doing really great with keeping her temp up. She may need to be in a bed that has a warmer if she cannot maintain her body temperature above 97.5.
5. We do not know the time frame of when she will be coming home. We do know that she needs to keep her temp at a good level as well as eat every feeding from a bottle. She is still a few days away from that happening.
Thanks for your prayers. We really appreciate them!
