There is so much going on. Some days it feels like more than I can handle. We got the results of her brain ultrasound and she has no brain hemorrhages!!! :) :) The nasal cannula prongs that she had in her nose rubbed her nasal septum raw, so they had to change her nasal cannula to a face mask. She has to wear that face mask until her septum heals. The face mask can start breaking down her face like the nasal cannula did to her septum. They take off the face mask every 3 hours to massage her head so that it doesn't get mishaped.
Her feedings are up to 6cc every 12 hours. Her umbilicus looks pink so they drew her blood to check her white blood cell count, swabbed her belly button and cathed her to get a urine sample. The tests came back positive for an infection so she is on antibiotics for 7-10 days. Danika has lost some weight. She weighs 2 lbs today.
On the board her respiratory therapist wrote "Jacki loves Danika!". It's the little things, that will put a smile on your face when all you feel like doing is crying.
Daddy got to feed her and change her diaper today for the first time! Today my little princess was opening her eyes and holding daddy's finger! :)
