Today was another day to where the doctor or nurse practitioners did not change anything. They were still continent on leaving things the same to see if she would continue to grow. She is still on three liters of vapotherm, 25cc's of milk with calories added in. She continues to have bowel movements. She had one tonight at five, and I was very upset since I was not here in time to change it. Her weight continues to go up, but just a little slower which is good as long as she is staying healthy.
Today the doctors asked to if they could try a new procedure on Harli. They were wanting to try an ultra-sound machine hoping it would help locate veins for procedures like an IV or a pick line. I guess they just ran the ultra-sounds machine over her hand, forearm, and feet to see if it helps pick up the veins, or it is something that would not work with preemies. They were able to see the veins so hopefully they will be able to start using the ultra-sound machine instead of having to poke the preemies so many times.
Blair was able to kangaroo Harli for almost three hours. I think they both needed this time together, because Blair's smile lit up the room tonight. Harli's vitals remained perfect the whole time Blair was holding her, and for the most part she laid still and just slept. Harli weighed 1450 grams, or 3lbs 3ozs again. Another fifty grams and Blair gets to start dressing her again!
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar, and his word has no place in our lives." 1 John 2:5
