Day 38 Good Bye CPAP

During rounds this morning, Adelina was found sucking on her CPAP prongs... later in the morning had disassembled it from her head. We got the call that she was being put 100% on nasal cannula. This is huge for Adelina (she just turned 30 weeks over the weekend)! The tubes are taped to her cheeks instead of on the hats she was wearing. I did kangaroo care with her for the first few hours over her original cannula limit to make sure she was ok and she did great the whole time! I ended up staying there until midnight with her.

She is still on the same feeding schedule and amounts... no weight gain today (still 2.0lbs).

We also got a visit from Jen Keil... AND we have new neighbors - THE MARINO TWINS!! Congrats Mike and Regina - we're even in the same area in the NICU... across and next to Adelina. In this picture of Jen, those white privacy gates are blocking the view of the twins...Jen said Adelina's pictures don't do her justice to see how small (and of course pretty) she is.

And here is Nurse Jenny... she is one of our favorites! Adelina says thank you Jenny.
