A few road bumps today ... Hailey had a transfusion last night due to her red blood count being at 23, when normal is 30. She also didn't do so well with her feeds. Her 9am she really struggled with and had some bradys. Then she did well at her 1pm, and at her 5pm she couldn't finish the feed, lastly at her 9pm she finished, but had about 4 brady and apnea episodes. Not good ... The nurse thinks we need to back off again and only give her a bottle every other feed. The nurse tonight thinks it could be another week or two. Tomorrow they are supposed to teach us how to use the monitor for home. We will see what the docs say. Good news - her weight is up to 4lbs, 10oz. My parents are also here and it is quite a blessing to have them around! Keep praying for strength for her and us to keep going!
