Last night was a pretty good night for miss Harli.  She did have four episodes throughout the night, two of those required stem and two did not.  She continues to sleep well throughout the night.

Today was a better day for Harli.  She only had a couple episodes, which not all of them required stem.  The doctor and nurse practitioner did not make any changes, so she remains on the one liter of vapotherm and 32ml of milk.  They have continued to keep her wrapped in blankets since they have the heat turned down in her bed.  When they have her wrapped up in the blankets there is not much movement since her arms and legs are all bundled up.

Today Blair got to do non nutritive feeding again, which Harli handled great.  She is getting closer everyday to be breast feeding.  It is amazing to see how much Blair enjoyed it!  Both of my girls are doing so great, and I am so thankful.

I got the chance to kangaroo Harli tonight for almost two hours.  During our kangaroo session Harli's vitals remained perfect until the very end.  She had an episode that was a little longer, but with a little bit of stimulation she took back off.

Harli weighed in at 1790 grams, or 3lbs 15.5ozs.  She is very close to the magical 1800 grams.  Once she hits 1800 grams they will raise the top off her bed to see how her body temperature maintains on room temperature. If her body temperature maintains they will consider moving her into a crib.
