Harli had another good night last night.  She continues to have a couple episodes, but she is recovering own her own on most.  Harli also has started having most of her bowel movements through the night, which does not bother me at all.

Today went very well for Harli.  The doctor, which we got another one today, and our nurse practitioner did not make any changes with Harli.  Her feeds remain the same and she remains on 1 liter of oxygen, and they are still adding caffeine and iron to her milk.  She made it through the day with only a couple of episodes, and those came after her eye exam.

Harli handled the eye exam better today than she did two weeks ago.  She is still rated as a 1 (1 the best 4 the worst) but they are going to do another eye exam next Tuesday to be on the safe side.  There were a few little problems they found, and we were also told that 90% of the premature babies rated at a one out grow the problem.  They explained what they found, but it is much easier to just ask for your prayers once again rather than trying to explain the situation because I'm not really sure how to put it into words.

Harli's weight dropped a little bit today, down to 4lbs 5.5ozs.  Our nurse was not surprised with the amount of bowel movements which she had last night.  Even though she has lost a little bit of weight she is looking so good, and she looks like she is getting bigger with each day.
