Day 34 Growing and Glowing

Adelina was having a rough time in the middle of the night yesterday and was given 13cc's of cousin Al (thanks to Als again)... her color came back and she was back to her old self by the afternoon. This morning she weighed 1 lb 14oz :)

The CPAP is down to 21% (same air we breathe) and her cannula is at 26%. She is doing most of the breathing on her own. Doctor Moomjiim has put her to 4 hours on CPAP and 4 hours on cannula starting today... she did wonderful! I was able to hold her for 3 of those hours today... she was fussing for a while and kept dropping in O2 and fighting her hat (it holds the cannula on). We got her a new one and she was happy as could be. She wanted to be held like a big kid with her head in my elbow crook and sucking on a pacifier, which is the size of a Qtip. It's amazing to see how small she is and what she is doing - we're very proud of her. She's been lifting up her head and trying to turn on her sides - total maniac.



Here she's passed out cold with her new hat... the bandage on her hand was from the blood transfusion. We bought her some clothes, so she's not hanging out in the buff all the time. Thanks to Livy Gilroy for thinking of her being naked as well. I finally left some disposable cameras for the nurses, so hopefully they get her in one of her new outfits.
