February 19, 2012

Last night was much smoother for Harli.  Harli only had two times where her heart rate dropped, which is a very big relief for both Blair and I.  She had a couple bowel movements and other than that she was a good little angel.

Today was not much different.  She had two drops in her heart rate this morning when we first got into the module, but after that it was pretty smooth sailing.  She is still having some periodic breathing, but she catches herself before the monitors would alarm.  The doctor and nurse practitioners left everything the same since she was handling things very well.   She is still on three liters of vapotherm, and getting 25cc's of milk every three hours.  She is continuing to have bowel movements which is a very positive sign.  They did remove her IV today after it went bad and was not able to take fluids. They are back to giving her extra calories in her milk so hopefully she will start putting on weight.

Today they measured her length and she is now fifteen and a half inches long, which is a quarter of an inch longer than last Sunday.  Her weight was 1440 grams, or 3lbs 3ozs.  She is slowly starting to put the weight back on so hopefully here this week they will get to start dressing her again. I know Blair can not wait, she has the outfits washed and ready.  Tonight when Blair and I were leaving the module I think Harli was trying to get our attention because she dropped her heart rate.  I guess she does not like the idea any more than we do about leaving.

We wanted to thank everyone again for their support during this difficult time.  We could not make it through our "roller coaster" ride if not for the prayers we are receiving from so many.  Thank you for everything and please continue to pray for the Culy family.
