Noelle had a good day overall today. They still have her on the new
ventilator and have not put her back onto the jet ventilator as of yet
so we're hoping this will stick with her and she can graduate to the CPAP machine in another 10 days or so. Her white blood count was lower
today and no news has come back regarding an infection as of yet, so
we're thankful for that. Her blood sugar has been stable, and they are
trying to adjust her different fats/nutrition that she receives to help
her start putting on weight and growing. We did find out today that she
had what they consider to be a level 2 brain bleed. They re-evaluated
her last cranial ultrasound with a neurologist and believe they saw a
small blood clot; however, this level is not usually anything that has
long term effects, and she does not seem to have any side effects
currently from it. They will continue to do ultrasounds every week or
two to monitor it just to be safe, but they believe we are past the
worst danger point for her to develop anything further with it. There
still is a concern for her to develop NEC, and this will be the most
crucial for the next month or so. Currently, she is tolerating her
feeds very well, and they bumped her to .6 today so we are thankful for
that too. Overall, a good day and another day down. She will be two
weeks old in just a few more hours!! Thanking God for each day...
