Eating Again!

Since Callie started to settle down and get some
rest over the past couple of days they decided to try to feed her again yesterday. She got her first feed at noon yesterday and tolerated it well so she has been getting regular feedings every 3 hours since! Hopefully Callie will be able to hit the 2 lb mark in the near future. While the feeds are a great step forward Callie's lungs are having a little trouble again. She can't seem to get them to dry out so they are giving her Lasix to assist and adjusting her ventilator settings to give her a little more help. Hopefully the combination of the 2 will send her lungs back in the right direction and work towards getting her off the vent. The Neurologists did stop by yesterday and they are pleased with the drainage of fluid in her head and will do follow-up ultrasounds weekly to make sure it continues to do so. Thanks again for everyone's support!

    Callie looks very comfortable in that position with her little arm tucked underneath her body. I hope she stays comfortable and relaxed so she can keep eating. Every 3 hours sounds great!

    We'll keep the prayers up that her lungs are able to stay clear and they can get her off the vent.

    It sounds like the reservoir was just what she needed to begin to relieve the fluid in her little noggin.

    All our love,
    Kim and Jack

    Happy Birthday, Callie! One month old today, and you've been thru so much already. We hope that you get to have a day of nothing more eventful than eating and sleeping, with some hugs and kisses from Mommy & Daddy.

    We love you,

    This is wonderful news. You look like you have grown. Glad to hear that you are getting Mommy's milk. This will make you grow even faster.

    We hope that you will continue to get some well deserved rest this weekend.

    Hugs and kisses to you and Mommy and Daddy.
    Love you all,
    Rick, April & Matt
