Kate is still a rock star! She has completed day 6 and is doing great. The doctor listened for her heart murmur and couldn't hear it. Tomorrow they will do the echo and hopefully it will show that her PDA valve is closed. Her tummy is soft, meaning it is not bloated with gas because the feedings have been stopped until her valve is fixed. She is on an IV fluid that gives her what she needs to keep her going. Today her hemoglobin was tested and it's low. She will need a blood transfusion which is fairly common. She will probably need several throughout the next few months. She won't have this done until she is off the medicine for her PDA valve. Her weight was up tonight- 785 grams(close to 1.12 lbs.)! Josh and my dad went up to see her. They gave her a priesthood blessing. Josh says she looked so much more comfortable tonight than she has in days past.
