Emily Update 3/29/09

Emily is still doing very well. They turned down her oxygen to 21%. Which basically means she is breathing the same air that we are, just it is a little more forceful to keep the air sacs in her lungs opened up. She is recieving 24 ccs of milk with 24 calories for every ounce in it. She is up to 2 lbs 12 oz now. She is geing so close to the 3 lb mark. We are hoping once she is up to that point she may not need all the help with her breathing. She can't get moved into an open crib until she is off the CPAP and is no longer in need of the ventilator. We finally found clothing that fits her, doll clothing. But I doubt that will last for very long at the rate she is growing. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who is reading these blogs and keeping Emily in their prayers.
