Welllll so far so good. Her Oxygen requirement are set between 44-56 and they have bumped her settings down on the vent. She seems to be statting well and doesn't get too fussy when she's handled. She keeps going up on her feeds (3 ml every 2 hours I think) so she's starting to stableize! So hopefully in 2-3 days her oxygen requirements will get down into the 30's which would be awesome! I think she will be just fine. Although i'm still a little worried about the inflammation in her lungs. I have this sneaky feeling she might need a couple small doses. Just a hunch I have. But i'm not too worried about it. Not right now anyways.
But tonight the nurse on duty was getting me a little more involved with Angel. Letting me hold her feeding syringe and I got to rub her ointment on her dry legs and arms. Helps keep her moisturized. So that was really nice to feel helpful and be able to touch her! So hopefully i'll get to do more and more now that she's starting to stableize. All of these little things mean so much to me. Anyways I'm going to see her tomorrow for an hour or two we'll see if there's anything else for me to do
Time for bed!
So I couldn't be more thrilled about Angelynn's progress. Today when I went in the IV was out of her head and she was wearing one of the little vests that my mom made for her!! She looks like a baby now. her oxygen was down to 33%!!! They are slowly weaning down her Ventilator settings and going up on her feeds. It's awesome!! I'm so happy I was so happy to hear and see how she was doing that I cried! Here's my fave pic
The news you share with us today is just amazing! I can't even begin to imagine what emotional rollercoaster you are on right now but I am sooooo happy for you three. You have been so generous in keeping all people here informed.
Since my little boy was born, I felt sad that he came a mere month early. However, following up on your beautiful little girl has made me shift this regret to positive energy, hopes and prayer for you. I share your worries in my own way but concentrate on being positive for you. I want you to know that as tiny as she is and as far as you are, you and Angelynn have made me a better mom, a better person. Thank you for showing me the better side of everything so that I may be more thankful for what I do have in my life rather than dwell on sorrow.
