Emily Update 4/17/09

Emily weighs 4 lbs 3 oz. She is receiving 36 cc of milk over an hour and a half. And tolerating it well. She is still on all nose canela and is doing amazing. Still having some destats but they all are self resolved. That is all the new things. Tomorrow is the big walk, and I wanted to thank all who donated.

Emily Update 4/16/09

Emily has finally broke the 4 lbs mark. She weighs 4 lbs 1/2 oz. She is on full nose canela now, so we are hoping that she can handle it. We will know in a couple of days. I got the test results back from the reflux, and they are negative. So she doesn't have acid reflux. She may be moving to an open crib on the 27th of this month. So keep your fingers crossed for that. Thanks for reading and keeping us in your prayers.

Emily Update 4/13/09

Emily weighs 3 lbs 10.5 oz. She had to go back to six hours of nose canela and six hours of CPAP. It was just a little to much for her to handle so fast. They are also checking to see if she is having a type of reflux reaction and if that isn't the cause of her destats. She isn't spitting up her food at all though. Besides that she is doing awesome. Thanks for reading.

Emily Update 4/12/09

Emily now weighs 3 lbs 10 oz. She is staying on the nose canela for nine hours a shift. And the CPAP for 3 hours a shift. She is doing very well. They are also putting her milk on her pacifier every three hours and she is very interested in that. The reason they do that is to provide postive oral stimulation, just so she won't have all negative stimulation around her mouth.
