Day 21 Happy 3 Week Birthday !

Adelina's first 3 weeks of life are a miracle and she continues to astonish us and the doctors... we continue to knock on wood. As of her a/m and mid-afternoon check in's, she has been behaving herself; not one "episode" of forgetting to breathe as of noon today. Her body temps are still normal, so thoughts of infection are ruling out.

She has gained 3/4 of an ounce and fortifier was added to her breast milk for extra calories. She's still tolerating her feedings and keeping strong (sometimes I think it's for us).

Today's Stats:

  • Bubble CPAP at 24% (we breathe 21%) as of late afternoon
  • Fortifier added to breast milk - feeding amounts same as last night
  • NO apnea/brady as of dinner time check in
  • Body temps average 98.2
  • Weight 1lb 10oz

If anyone has any extra prayers, friends of ours in the NICU, who had their triplets one week before us (24 weekers), lost one of their daughters, Georgia Mary, today. She would have been four weeks old Sunday. Things can change so quickly and we pray for their family to have comfort.
