Today was my goal date - 30 weeks... Adelina sure doesn't look 30 weeks, but we're almost at a milestone. She weighed 1lb 15.3oz this morning, so she's almost 2 pounds.
The Docs have changed her routine to 8 (that's huge) hours on nasal cannula to 4 hours of CPAP. Her first go today ended at 7:30pm and she did wonderful - no episodes at all. When they put the CPAP back on, she had removed it at least 5 times in 10 minutes. She's getting used to the freedom and comfort of the cannula, but she's not quite ready for using it all the time yet. Her stats weren't as good on the CPAP because she was fighting it the whole time. She had a couple little episodes while we were there, which is always hard to watch... she's so uncomfortable and her face shows it.
The CPAP is still set at 21% (room air) and the cannula was weaned to 25%. Blood count came back perfect today, so cousin Al's blood was all she needed. That was her 3rd transfusion since birth, which isn't too shabby.
You Can Do It Adelina!

Gianna was enjoying the weather and having a cool treat w/ her new shades... she wants to know when her little sister can ride bikes.

I think we could all use a little of Al's blood. The strength and energy that he has is amazing(just putting up with Ro). Adelina will have a great tan in no time. I can't wait to teach her to make great calls for DFFDay.
Love,

Thats is great! I cna't believe she is doing so well on the canula already! Nate was in NICU 77 days and the forst 50 were on the vent. he didn't go to canula til literally about a week before coming home!
YAY ADDY!
8 to 4 is a good ratio. Soon her pretty little face will be exposed all the time. That should make her happy!! Go Addy thr trips and Liv are pulling for you!
