Harli had a pretty decent day today. When the doctor and nurse practitioner's made their rounds they decided to lower the vapotherm machine to two liters per minute. They also set the schedule for her milk to be raised three times throughout the day, as long as she tolerated them. Once the vapotherm machine was lowered Harli handled the change very well and just had her normal episodes, but most of her episodes were all self resolved. At noon today they discontinued the fluids through her IV so the only food she is getting now is Blair's milk. They are going to leave the IV in her hand so when they write to have the blood transfusion hopefully they won't have to stick her again. The reason they did not end up giving the blood transfusion today is because they would have to stop the milk. Since they wanted to get her on full feeds so they do not have to worry about the IV going bad or having to put in another pick line.
Blair had her six week check up today which went very well. While Blair was at Henry County hospital she was able to walk over and talk with a couple of the nurses she had. They were very happy to get a personal update on Harli, which made Blair feel good.
Blair got to kangaroo Harli tonight, but it was a shorter session since we were about to fall asleep due to a very short night last night. While Blair was holding Harli her vitals remained decent, but had a couple times when her breathing would slow down a little. I think she just did not have the chest hair tickling her to keep her awake. Harli weighed 3lbs 4.5ozs today, so another nice jump in weight for the little fighter.
