Today was another good day for Harli. She only had two episodes, so apparently raising her caffeine has helped stimulate her. She still remains at two liters on the vapotherm machine, which is running around twenty-five percent oxygen. She is continuing to handle her feeds nicely and continues to have bowel movements frequently. Today though she did have mucus coming out of her nose. The doctor and nurse practitioner said this could be from different things. One is that the vapotherm machine going into her nose lets a little bit of water through every now and then which could just be loosening things up. It could also be because she is getting a cold. The reason they think it is from the vapotherm machine is because her breathing remains strong.
Today Blair got to kangaroo for two and a half hours. I was planning on kangarooing Harli tonight when I arrived, but instead I was able to hold Harli like a normal new born for the first time. Kangarooing is pretty amazing, but this feeling topped that. During both, Harli's vitals remained perfect and it seems like she is breathing a little better.
Tonight our nurse and Blair surprised me with Harli's outfit. She had a green bow in her hair and had on John Deere socks. They also retrofitted her outfit to make it look like a John Deere outfit, which looked very nice with her blanket.
Standing with the two most beautiful women!
