Not much new today so far.
The doctor is going to wait one more day to drop her oxygen level, because they are going to suspend her breathing treatments and see if she can handle the .4 flow without the breathing treatments. I don't think I've mentioned her breathing treatments yet, but she has been on them for a couple of weeks now. It's just like using an inhaler, using a drug called Xopenex. They use an oxygen mask and blow the medicine in her nose. It's supposed to help dialate her lungs, just like an inhaler does with people who have asthma. They started these when a chest X-ray a couple weeks ago looked hazy.
She gained 24 grams yesterday so she's up to 1351 grams (2 lbs. 15.6 pounds), 10 more grams and she will be 3 pounds!!!! We will see tonight if she made it! If not, that's okay, but it will be exciting when that happens. I feel like that will be a big milestone, to get out of the 2 pound range.
We need to have a 3 pound party when it happens. If she makes it today or tomorrow, we can make it part of her one-month birthday celebration!
