Today the doctor and nurse practitioner made a couple changes. They lowered her oxygen down to .5 liters per minute. They did not do this until six tonight, but when we left at nine she was handling it very well. They also upped her milk from 32ml to 34ml due to the weight gain she has had. She spent the whole day with the top off her bed, and she was able to maintain her temperature and also able to gain weight, which is what everyone was most concerned about.
Blair got the chance to do non-nutritive feedings again today, but they did not go as well. Harli did not seem as interested tonight as she has in the past couple days. Everyone said that was to be expected since she actually handled it better the first couple of times than they thought she would.
Harli weighed in today at 1870 grams, or 4lbs 2.5ozs. She had a considerable amount of weight gain which surprised everyone. She continues to gain weight, have bowel movements, and maintain her temperature which is the most important things right now. Hopefully this weekend she gets moved from her bed into a crib.

Love the pictures! It's like she's saying, get me out of here, get me out . . . Well maybe I'll just sleep for a minute. I'll be praying that Harli and Blair get the hang of bf soon. It takes a while but when you get there it's a magical thing.
