I got to take Danika a sponge bath for the first time today! She can't take a normal bath yet because she still has the picc line in her arm. When that comes out, we can start taking normal baths! She did good and maintained her body heat really well. The nurse said she had a good day today. Her oxygen is at 21%. They are thinking about putting a chin strap on her because she always hangs her mouth wide open. This causes the oxygen that is being blown into her nose, to come out her mouth and then she starts desatting. The nurse tries to keep a pacifier in her mouth but Danika never leaves it in for very long. I think she hangs her mouth open because she hates the feeding tube that hangs out of her mouth. Her daddy got to do kangaroo care for 2 hours today! The nurse practitioner says my little one has attitude and is fiesty. They say she's going to need that to get out of the NICU early!
