We are thanking God for another good day with Noelle. She was quite
opinionated today and was letting everyone know that she wanted to be
left alone!! They think it's a good sign that she is feeling better
while on the other hand, it is giving us a glimpse of what we're in
for!! We'll take it though!! The echocardiogram revealed that she had a
very small PDA (opening in her ductus); however, they did not hear a
heart murmur today so they think it may have closed off and will check
again in a couple of weeks to confirm it...HUGE praise!!! She gained
again and weighs 610 grams although they believe she will drop some of
this as she is retaining fluid right now. But, she is looking bigger
and is not overly puffy so they think some of it is actual weight gain
along with the fluid, so hopefully when she starts feeding again on
Saturday we will really start seeing those numbers climb. Overall, it
was an uneventful day (and we love those!!). The main goal of the
doctors right now is to get her weaned off the ventilator. It's
important they do this soon as the longer she is on it the more likely
she is to get lung disease. Thank you so much for praying for our
little girl!! I hope we can report another good day to you tomorrow.
