So far, so good ... Hailey has been keeping her temp, pooping and not having any severe desats or bradys. She did lose 10 grams, which puts her closer to 4lbs, 4oz. The worry is when they take them out of the isolette they have to work harder to keep up their temperature and so they lose weight. So we hope this will change and she will gain it back or she goes back in the isolette. As far as feeds go, she has been getting 36cc's over a 3 hour period, so today they condensed them so its now 36cc's over 2 hours and then an hour off feeds. On top of that we gave her a bottle today and she drank 20cc's. She did have a bigger aspirate (7cc's) at her 8pm cares, but it was kind of expected due to the extra 20cc's she was given. Please keep praying because if all goes well with feeds she could be home next week, if not, we get to start over ... Its really hard not being able to have her home, especially now more than ever. She is much more interactive and alert and needs to be home and in her parents arms!!! Up until now I have been splitting my time between working and her since I work only a couple floors away, this way I can save my maternity time, but I am now done with that. Starting next Monday I am on leave and will sitting by her bed till she comes home. I just can't concentrate anymore on anything but her!!!!
