Callie has had a good week with lots of changes. She is now wearing clothes in her isolette! Since she is getting bigger and older, she is now able to maintain her body heat better, so they have decreased the temperature of her bed and they are dressing her. They say that if she keeps it up, she could be in a bassinet within a week!Callie is also eating better. They have increased the size of her feeds to 25 cc's and she is now able to take two bottles a day and breastfeed once. She has now, on two occasions, drunk her entire bottle!
The other major change is that Callie is completely off oxygen support! When we got to the Hospital today, they had taken off her nasal cannula and she is completely breathing on her own! They said we should not be surprised if she has to go back on it at some point. It is just so amazing to see her face and chubby cheeks without so many things taped to it!
Callie,
ReplyDeleteIt is so great to hear of all these wonderful new changes! It is amazing that you are off oxygen now. I bet you love being free of the tubes taped to your cheeks! Keep up the great work and you will be in a bassinet before you know it!
Love,
Aunt Britty

ReplyDeleteEverytime I see a new picture of you, Callie, you get soooo big! Every day you get more and more beautiful but you have always been the cutest little peanut...good to see you back at St. Joe's. I had a dream about you Monday night...you were on a cruiseship with me and your Mommy and Daddy...kinda weird....you were wearing a yellow sun bonnet and you were toting that pink puppy! I love you, kisses and hugs...as always give your parents some hugs for me...I miss em sooooo much! Hannah

What spectacular news! Callie's on a roll. Those are some precious little cheeks... I don't think Mommy and Daddy are going to be able to say no to that cute face.

Callie, This news made me tear.... You've come so far from your first arrival at St. Joe's! Love Grams.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I am just as excited as you are! I see her coming home soon. She's following in Marlee's footsteps. We had a good visit with Neuro yesterday. Baby Marlee is 6lbs 4oz. Today was her due date! Call me.
ReplyDeleteWay to go sweet Callie. We are so excited about your good news. Just keep being the strong-willed little angel that you are. We love you soooo much.
