2 pounds 14 ounces!

Nothing much new with Danielle, other than she is growing and growing! We are so proud of our little girl. She is such a little fighter, just like her brother. She is moving along at an easy pace. She is almost up to 1 ounce of food every 3 hours. She has several times been at room air (21%) for her oxygen. When she gets to this point the nurses have to turn off her high oxygen saturation alarms because with her at 21% room air they can't turn her down any more and the nurses pager goes off every time the alarm sounds. This is a good thing! So she has been anywhere from room air to 28% for her oxygen settings. She is still on the Nasal Canula (Vapotherm) oxygen and doing great.

We have been working on trying to get Danielle to be positioned on her back for developmental and head shaping reasons. She tolerates it about half the time. Well today the nurse was able to have Danielle on her back for 1 hour and during a feeding, this was great news. But, when the nurse went in to check on Danielle after being out of the room for less than 10 minutes, Danielle had flipped onto her side and uncovered herself a little out of the blanket. The nurse was cracking up laughing and so were we wondering how she did this!! There were no other nurses who had been in her room, she did this all on her own. She is a little Houdini!!

We just continue to pray for our little girl that she continues on this pace. Not a day goes by that we don't realize how lucky we are to have both of our kids here with us. We have learned a very valuable life lesson, never take today for granted, none of us are guaranteed a tomorrow...hug your loved ones tight and always kiss them goodnight.~
