She even smiles now!!Danielle is having a good week. There are no real changes to report! She is eating just under 1 ounce of food still. Her hemoglobin went up so she is not getting transfused and they did up the amount of iron she is getting orally every day. She is loving the canula oxygen. The first 36 hours she was on the verge of them putting her back on CPAP, but now she is doing great. We think she is getting use to it and we can tell that by her breath rate and the deeper breaths she is taking. She is still requiring between 29-34% oxygen which is good and she is having a very small amount of apnec and brady spells.
She is still in contact isolation, her culture last week was negative so if she has 2 negative cultures 1 week apart she can come out of isolation. Well unfortunately the culture from yesterday was positive so isolation for now and they will re-check her again next week.
I gave her a bath over my lunch today and she loved it! Yes, I am back to work full time. It is going pretty good. Just getting use to being up and busy during the day, and doing busy work that doesn't pertain to family. So I am up at the hospital at 6am before I go to work and over my lunch and daddy spends the evenings at the hospital. This routine is working well. At least the kids are getting good amounts of sleep because mommy and daddy are lacking some! But that is okay, we are getting an okay amount of sleep and we are feeling like we are trying to balance things and it's going pretty good.
So our prayers remain the same, that the kids stay healthy and Danielle continues at this easy pace.~
