There's not much new to report with Mary.  She is still having apnea episodes even while on the apnea bed.  They're not as bad as before, but they're still happening so that's a bit frustrating.  They tell us it's normal because of her prematurity, but it's still hard to watch her struggle like that.  The good news is, most of the time she's able to correct her breathing on her own instead of having the nurses stimulate her.  So, that's progress at least!

Mary is now up to 2 lbs 1 ounce.  They are trying to feed her again.  Hopefully she'll start tolerating her feeds and they can increase the amount she gets.  Right now she's at 1 mL every 3 hours.  If she does well with that they'll increase by 0.5 mL every other feeding.

One new thing that happened today...I got to hold Mary while the nurse changed out her bed.  It wasn't like holding the other two because I just held her up in the isolette, but it was more contact than I'd been getting with her so that was nice.
