Day 26 Minor Glitch

At 2:45 am Adelina was tried back on the nasal cannula and only lasted 15 minutes before she was having episodes of bradycardia and had to be put back on CPAP. She did well once she was back on and her heart rate came down finally this morning in the 170s.

A second try around dinner time today on the cannula was a success and Dad was able to hold her for a while. She was making a lot of faces and awake the entire time.

Her feedings remain the same 2 hours on and 2 off, but today fat was added to her milk. She has managed to gain some weight - today we are at 1lb 11.5oz - and hoping to continue gaining .5-1.0 ounce(s) per day from here on out.


Thanks again for everyone checking on Addy and to Sammie for the blinkies!
