February 6, 2012

Last night was another good night for Harli.  She only had a couple of episodes which she resolved on her own.  Our nurse told me that Harli pretty much just laid there and slept most of the night.

When Blair arrived over in Harli's room this morning Harli's nurse told Blair that she had an episode at seven thirty this morning.  Harli did recover on her own, and settled down immediately.  When the doctor and nurse practitioners made their rounds they discussed whether or not to raise Harli's feedings.  They decided to leave her at the 21cc's again today to allow her body to adjust even more.  The doctor did decide to take her vapotherm machine down from four liters to three liters to see how she reacted.  He talked with Blair and told her that Harli did a good job this past week of gaining weight, but he would really like to see a little more.

Harli had a very good day after they lowered her vapotherm machine down to three liters.  She had one episode from eleven this morning until we left this evening at eight.  Blair over heard our doctor and one of the night doctors talking when they were making their rounds this evening.  The night doctor asked our day doctor why they do not move Harli to module five, but our day doctor told her that the family had become very familiar and like the nurses in this module and he was going to keep her here until he did not have a choice.  Now Blair and I are really hoping that we stay in module three because we have built some very nice bonds with our nurses.

Harli's weight today was up a little at 1230 grams, or 2lbs 12 ounces, and I would like to thank Denver for correcting me on my weights.  I have been miss typing the weights when I have been converting them to pounds from grams.Harli had a dirty diaper at every three hours today except for the one at eight, which is the one I had to change.  I knew deep down that girl really loved me!  Tomorrow Harli has her first eye exam and we pray that everything looks good.
