Harli is continuing to do very well with not being on oxygen.  She is still having her "normal" couple of episodes throughout the days and nights, but she has not required any stimulation.  She continues to grow, and they continue to raise her milk to compensate for the weight gain.

Blair is now up to breast feeding three times a day.  Some sessions go much better than others, but she is starting to get the hang of things.  Harli still has a problem not wearing herself out while breast feeding, which when she gets tired a lot of times is when she has one of her episodes.

Harli weighed in today at 5lbs 11ozs, which is significant jump from Wednesday the last time I got to see her.  When Blair was holding her when I walked into the module tonight I was amazed at how much our little girl has grown this week.

The doctor and nurse practitioners have not made any significant changes to Harli in the past couple of days.  Everyone seems to be very happy with the progress Harli is making, and how her episodes have been fewer, and the ones requiring stimulation have really slowed down.
