In the doctor's own words this morning, "Noelle is
stable, and she is having a good day!!" We were so thankful to hear
those words today and have an "easy" day in the NICU. Her blood sugar
is still fluctuating more than they would like, but they are attributing
it to her size and the fact that she is
still trying to get rid of fluids from the birth. She had to have
another blood transfusion this morning since her hemoglobin dropped a
little low but she tolerated it well. Unfortunately, one of the lines
into her through the umbilical cord has a clot in it, so they had to put
a hep lock into her foot so they can give her transfusions and other IV
fluids through there. They were able to turn the bili light off today
as her jaundice level was good. That could go back and forth for a
while, but it was fun to see her without her glasses today. She had
another echocardiogram as well which came back good. She finally had a
messy diaper today, so hopefully her x-ray tomorrow will show all the
air out of her intestines, and she can start on her feeds again. She
will be one week tomorrow, and we are praising God that we are reaching
another small milestone at that point. Continuing one day at a
time...thank you for your love and prayers!!!
