What's missing in this picture??? It sure isn't a smile.... NO CANNULA!!!!!!!!!!!!! This could be my favorite picture of her.As of mid-morning, nurse Lisa decided enough was enough. Adelina's nose had to be suctioned so much from the dryness of the cannula, that she gave Addy a spin on her own. Think she likes it??? She had one episode of desat and Brady and had to be reminded with a little rubbing, but then we did Kangaroo for an hour and ten minutes and she did great.
Her feedings are now taking place over a 1 hour on and 3 hour off time period. She's now getting 32ml, which is a little over an ounce of the same special cocktail and weighs 2lb 10oz. She looked big for the first time, it's amazing...
The docs are ready to move her to the step-up nursery... we're on a waiting list and next in line. We need Kathryn Marino to go home!!! We've been waiting and hoping for these things to happen and now that they are here, it's a little scary. Weaning her out of the isolette will depend on how well she can regulate her own body temp and of course her weight. She's on a gain cycle, so we hope it continues and she grows some chins and leg rolls. She has to be at least 3lbs to wear clothes on a regular basis... and then we'll be styling 24/7.
This is a picture of Adelina in the NICU and Gianna (from her short stint there)... see my hand compared to there size - Gigi is 3lbs heavier here.
