February 25, 2012

Harli once again had a good night last night.  She still only had one episode throughout the night, and handled all her feedings well.

Today was not much different.  Throughout the whole day she had one episode, which she corrected on her own. They raised her feedings from 27ml to 29mls, and she has responded well by taking all the milk. Harli remains on two liters on the vapotherm machine at twenty-five percent oxygen.  We are still waiting on the first dirty diaper since last night though, but I think from the way she was acting that it is not far away.

Tonight I got to kangaroo Harli for almost two hours.  She did have a couple times tonight where her vitals were not the strongest.  Her heart rate only dropped once, but her blood oxygen continued to keep going up and down.  Once we put her back in her bed she seemed to settle down a little.  I do know while I was holding her she seemed to be getting a little bit of water through her oxygen tube which might have caused some of the breathing problems.

Harli gained ten grams today putting her at 1640 grams, or 3lbs 10ozs.  She has had good weight gain throughout this whole week and I can't wait until tomorrow when they measure her to see if she has grown in length.
