NICU Day 34 (January 10th)

Today was very similar to yesterday and there were not many changes made in Noelle's care.  They did increase her feeds again as she is tolerating them very well at this time, and she has put on some weight.  She weighed in at 610 grams or 1 lb. 5 oz.  We received the results back on her echocardiogram and they showed very slight improvement with her heart but nothing significant.  The left side seems to be working well, but the function of the right side is still poor.  The doctors think it is going to take some time for this to be corrected since the hypertension was/is so severe.  So that is our main prayer request....that her heart will continue to heal and be able to function at full capacity very soon.  They will repeat the echocardiogram again in a few days to check the progress.  Other than that, she seems to be feeling much better than even the last couple of days.  She was more active today than ever and was very responsive...especially when she was awake.  It's so fun to see her respond to us talking to her and touching her...especially since we cannot hold her right now.  We truly appreciate all your prayers and are thankful to report yet another day of God's gracious goodness to us.
