3:59pm Not much change today...but we r starting to see this is very typical...just baby steps; sometimes they say the fact that she doesn't decline is a positive.
The number on the vent (the delta p) that deals with the CO2 has improved, so that is good news. The O2% on the vent went up slightly, but not bad; still much better than what it was a few short days ago. Otherwise vent settings are the same. They were able to incease the amount of breastmilk she is getting bc she is tolerating that well, so that is good. Avelyn's neonatologist this past week said it would be nice if "Mom's milk had natural albumin in it," so I am working on that. :) (Albumin is what helps draw the extracellular fluid into the cells so she can pee it out). Unfortunately Ave gained 2 oz in the past 24 hours, so we r hoping and praying for a loss tonight; they usually weigh her during the night shift.
Thank u for the continued, faithful prayers!!
