Little Ellie is doing really well. Her bilirubin levels were pretty high this morning, so she's now sun tanning under the blue lights, rocking her little shades. She really doesn't like being under the lights, her sats are the lowest they've been (88), but they go all the way to 100 when I hold her. She dropped weight again last night, but now she's up to 7ml feeds every 2 hours, and tolerating feeds fantastically. She will reach full feeds hopefully in a week from now.
There was no residual food to test before her last feed - all digested!!!
She had a few ab episodes today, but self-recovered.
I got to change her diaper twice (one was a poop!!!), take her temp, wash her face. I felt like her mommy for real.
They're talking about transfering her to st. Paul's in a week because she doesn't need a level three nicu. If there's room in intermediate care at childrens she might get to stay, but right now they're planning to transfer her on May 2nd. I have mixed feelings about that.
Grandpa, grandma, auntie cindy and Jakob all visited today.
My milk is IN. I have already filled my small freezer box at the hospital, and I'm working on her big freezer box. Art home, I keep everything I pump at night. She's going to be set when she comes home.
I hope she grows quickly. I want her to come home soon.
