Just when we thought we were out... Adelina was doing well on Monday at her pediatrician visit and only had a few episodes with her feeds over the weekend. She's growing like a weed (up to 4lbs 9oz on Wednesday). The visiting nurse came out on Tuesday to check on Adelina and our little Ms. decided to turn blue out of no where an hour after her meal and hadn't even been checked out yet. I picked her up, blew in her face and stimulated her back but everyone was a "little" freaked out.
There were 2 more episodes and then the car ride back to Abington... they were waiting for us. I spent the ride poking her in the head to make sure she was ok. Sorry Addy :(
They put her through (and she's still going through) a battery of tests to check for infection, reflux problems, central apnea and whatever ever else is going on with her feeds. Dana was having trouble getting her nose tube down for the acid study, so she had some deep congestion that suction wasn't getting out. It's pushed down now !
Here she is with Nurse Dana before the sleep study... she found her thumb (thanks to my "partner" Judith for the pictures and for meeting a crazy Mom at the entrance to the hospital). Dana told Mommy to go home and come back in the morning... the sleep study takes 12 hours.

It's ok Addy, everyone has some set backs! I'm sure she will grow stronger in the NICU and be ready to come back home soon with her sissy! We are all praying for you!!
Aww, so close! But One step forward, two steps back......
