Kate has had a good day. The bilirubin lights were removed, so she was swaddled again and very relaxed. One of her settings on the ventilator was weaned down- we are still hoping to get her switched over to the NIPV (nasal ventilator) this week. She has done so well with her feedings that a milk fortifier has been added to the milk to see if she can tolerate it. She's up to 10 mls tonight on her feedings.
Today we stayed home to celebrate Kam's birthday. It's hard to believe it's been 8 yrs. since he was in the same spot that Kate is now. It's been neat to meet back up with some of the nurses and doctors that took care of and remember him. It's such a relief to know that he's done so well and that most babies do. Right now it doesn't seem like December will ever come, but I know it won't be long before we will look back at this experience and think how quickly it passed too.
