Today Morgan Kate had a really good day. She slept for a long time, but was also awake and alert at times. I love it when she is asleep and awake. While she is sleeping I just sit and look at her. I watch every little movement or facial expression she makes. I am just in awe of her! When she is awake I love to talk to her and attempt to sing to her. She makes the sweetest noises and faces.
Today was Morgan Kate's 4th full day on the low flow cannula and she is continuing to do well. I feel like I am holding my breath everyday, hoping that she continues to tolerate it. Then I have to remind myself that this will happen in God's time and I have no control over the situation. It's just so hard to let go sometimes! She was around 50ccs of oxygen for most of the day. She did have to be turned up some for feedings and occasionally while she was sleeping, but other than that it was 50. Yahoo!
Morgan Kate's feeds have been increased to 55ccs. She is just 5ccs short of two ounces. They are increasing her feeds because they decreased the calories. She is also getting a bottle every eight hours - so three a day. This is just a slight increase. Tonight she weighed in at six pounds and five ounces.
Several weeks ago I mentioned my friend Donna. She was expecting a baby mid-December and she was on bed rest. Well, she delivered a healthy, happy baby boy today! He was three weeks early, but is doing great! Christian Spivey weighed in at six pounds and ten ounces. Congrats to Donna and her husband, Shaun! Morgan Kate and I can't wait to meet him.
