Happy Birthday

Today my love is doing awesome! She finally let them wean her down from .9% to .2% oxygen! There is still a chance that she will have to go home on oxygen, but now the chance is much lower!

I had an appointment with lactation today because breastfeeding her is extremely frustrating. It's hard to get her to latch on, so I've been giving up and just letting her bottle feed. Today was the first time she actually did really good latching on. Of course when lactation is standing there watching the whole thing, she finally cooperates! lol

She now weighs 4lbs 8 oz. Today was her last epogen shot. They are going to check her red blood cell count tomorrow and then we will figure out what we are going to do next depending on what her hemoglobin count is. The hemoglobin count will tell us if the epogen shots have been working and if she is able to make her red blood cells on her own or if she will need another blood transfusion.

Grandma Gurule came over with a valentine that Jazelle made her for Valentines Day! :)

Mommy and daddy love you Danika!
