Still at the hospital but doing better. Today Summer is up to 30 ML's of formula per hour in her NG tube and taking her bottles again. She is still keeping her labs where they want them, but pooping more as her food was increased. She looks great though and will be able to come home in a couple of days, maybe...still up for debate. We still have no answer from the pulmonary team about weaning her oxygen or not, but it is still in the works. Next they will try and take away the extra saline they are giving her to compensate for her full diapers...if she can still maintain her good lab numbers, she can come home. For now, we will just have to gaze at her cute pink self here on my blog...
Last week was Summer's maiden voyage to church for our Christmas program (delayed a week because of the snow) She looked very cute in this pink dress...surrounded by her pink bouncy seat to help pink en her up even more....
Wow! Look at her now...she is really chunkin' up those rolly thighs! She has had the IV board on her hand since she arrived and has not let it stop her from sucking the thumb that sticks off the edge of it...in case you don't remember, she did this with her thumb when she was only 2 1/2 pounds and still on a breathing tube! I guess bad habits REALLY do start early :)
After a lot of TLC and rest, Summer is looking very pink and healthy, even without being drenched in it! She even matched my hand that is supporting her :)
Now our little sparkly, blue eyed Sunshine is...
...all cheeks...
...and chins...
...and all grins!
