Day 20 Kangaroo Ma Ma

Addy is making great progress with her feedings & oxygen levels. Her body temp is back to normal from yesterday's low readings.

She was doing well in the morning when we visited her so we got to do Kangaroo Care (http://www.brighamandwomens.org/newbornmedicine/patient/kangaroo.aspx) for an hour. Addy tolerated very well and when she started to fuss, she started to suck her thumb - check it out....

For those who were wondering what a bubble CPAP is, it's the apparatus on her little face in this picture helping her breathe.
Today's Stats:

  • From 5/29% early afternoon to 5/25% on the CPAP by 10pm
  • Only 1 apnea today
  • Feedings from 4.25cc/hr to 4.5cc/hr all tolerated, no residual
  • BMs are normal again
  • Body temps are better today
  • PIC Line removed (caused a little drop in weight to 1.9)
