Today was not much different. Her top of her bed remained up, and her temperature remained good. The only change the doctor and nurse practitioner made was to raise her milk from 34ml to 35ml to adjust for her weight gain. She remains on .5 liters of oxygen at about twenty-one percent. Harli had a total of three episodes throughout the day, but none of those episodes required stimulation. Her nurse and nurse practitioner said they were not worried about her episodes because she still is not suppose to be here and they should slowly start to get less.
Blair was able to do non-nutritive feeding again today, and Harli seemed to be interested again. The session lasted about fifteen minutes, and Blair continued to hold her for a total of an hour. Blair has also been holding her every time Harli gets fed. It is much different now that she is dressed and is on room air because now Blair and I can hold her whenever we want and for however long we like.
Harli weighed in today at 1920 grams, or 4lbs 3.5ozs. She is continuing to gain weight and tonight they were going to put her in a crib, but there were no empty cribs to be found. So for the time being she is going to stay in her bed with the top off as long as her temperature does not drop and she continues to gain weight. There really is not much difference between her bed now and a crib so we are not out anything by her staying in there for a few more days.
