Just a quick post about my little angel. She is doing great and is so strong. She did have an infection and will be on antibiotics for the next 7 days. Her blood pressure did drop and they were forced to introduce NO2 into her regiment. They have since lowered her levels of the gas and as long as she tolerates it they are hoping to discontinue this by tomorrow.
It was quite an amazing day. Her Daddy was able to change her bum and check her temp for the first time. Her little NICU diapers are still huge on her they go all the way up to her little boobs. They also swabbed some of my colostrum and let me coat the inside of her little mouth. The goal of this is that she will absorb some of the antibodies. She will not have anything running threw her digestive system for another week or so. They are sustaining her nutritional needs threw iv fluids with electrolytes and some sugar. Her bodies main priority is the cardiovascular and brain system. Digestive is still pretty low on her bodies list of priorities.
It is such a special experience to see her react to my voice. She deff knows who her Mom and Dad are every time we talk to her she reacts. I am very careful how often I do this because it frightens me when her heart rate accelerates too much. The nurses have encouraged me to continue talking to her and it is very soothing for her to hear my voice. I will deff be posting new pics tomorrow she already looks so much better. They have been giving her light therapy for her jandice that has really helped bring out her gorgeous olive skin tone. She was rocking a cute hot pink bow today that was surrounded by all her gorgeous black hair. So stay tuned for some updated pics. Until next time keep your prayers coming we really appreciate the support and cant thank you all enough.
