So tonight was a bit of a rough night. When we left last night Angel was nasal canulla and was doing well. When we came in tonight we received word that Angel will not be on nasal canulla until further notice because she was very unstable this morning and kept desatting on the canulla.
She's also being fussy again with her handling. We took her out for a short cuddle and I only held her for 2 minutes when she desatted from 80% all the way down to 49%!!! Thats the lowest that i've seen her... So we had to put her back and leave her be. Everytime she's handled she desats and they have to bump up her oxygen requirements. So I don't know what that means for Kangaroo care.
The nurse on duty though made it sound like it was way worse than it is. She said it was taking her "hours" to recover from handling. Which is really not true. After our cuddle last night she settled right down and her oxygen stayed in the low 90's. And even tonight Jay and I changed her poopy diaper and redressed her and she went as low as 80%.
So I was feeling quite sad. Quite helpless. We're at a rough spot right now and I just wish I could help. But I will keep you all updated. Oh she's also had her caffeine bumped from 3mg to 5mg because she keeps having apneas. Other than that though she's great. She's up to 2 lb and 8oz! She's a full lb heavier than when she was born. I can just pray it keeps going way up
Well i'll keep ya'll updated. I hope she's better tomorrow. I need a good cuddle with my girl it's been a long while
