When Blair arrived in Harli's room she was sound asleep. When the doctor and nurse practitioners made their rounds they told Blair that there would not be an eye appointment today. They first had to have the eye specialist meet with Harli and then hopefully next week she will get her first eye exam. I am not really sure why they need to meet with Harli because I do not think she is going to tell them anything outside what the doctor already has. They raised Harli's feedings up from 21cc's to 23cc's. She is starting to handle them very nicely. They decided to leave her on the three liters of vapotherm for another day with the hope of trying to lower it again tomorrow. Harli is starting to have very consistant bowel movements, which means she is keeping Blair busy.
Blair said that the rest of the day went very smoothly with Harli only having one episode as of six thirty. Blair got to kangaroo Harli for a couple of hours, which I am sure absolutely made her day. Once the kangaroo session was over Blair got to give Harli a bath. Blair was very excited today that Harli took her pacifier and actually sucked on it until she feel asleep. This is a very big step for Harli because before when she would take the pacifier she would quit breathing. Blair sent me a picture of the pacifier in Harli's mouth and it looks almost as big as her face.
Today Harli weighed 2lbs 12.5 ounces meaning Harli gained .5 ounces since yesterday. Not a big weight gain from yesterday, but once again we will take what we can get.
