The latest... 06/02/2011
The past couple of days have been busy for us as we've been enjoying visits from various family members. So, I have a few days to catch you up on! On Tuesday we arrived to find Timothy and Elizabeth back in the "intensive" area of the NICU (right next door to where they were before). She wasn't on oxygen or having any problems, so we think they moved her because of Timothy's breathing episodes. We also arrived to find that she had pulled her feeding tube out of her nose! She kept alternating between waving it around and pulling on the tape that had been holding it in. We thought it was pretty funny but the nurse didn't seem amused! =) Tuesday was also the first day Paul got to change her diaper. On Wednesday we showed up and found Elizabeth in clothes and sharing an isolette with Timothy! She was pretty calm even though Timothy was grabbing her shirt and putting his hand in her face! She got him back later by pulling on his feeding tube! =) Her weight was up to 2 lbs 12 ounces and she was getting 25 mL (5 teaspoons) every 3 hours. Today Elizabeth was still in clothes and sharing an isolette with Timothy. Her oxygen saturation was dropping occassionally but nothing severe (still not on oxygen). I got to help with her diaper change and temperature check then later on Paul and I both got to hold her. Her weight had dropped a little bit (2 lbs 11.3 ounces) but she's still getting 25 mL of food every 3 hours. CommentsLeave a Reply |
